With Doug Rau notching his fifth consecutive victory and Reggie Smith cracking a homer, the Dodgers eased past the Cardinals, 3-1. Smith's solo round-tripper came in the first inning, but the Cards tied the game in the second when Ken Reitz blasted a homer. The Dodgers went ahead in the third when Davey Lopes singled, advanced to second on a balk, to third on a groundout and scored on Ron Cey's sacrifice fly.
