A two-run single by Steve Garvey capped a three-run fifth inning as the Dodgers blanked the Mets, 3-0, with Rick Rhoden and Charlie Hough combining on a five-hitter. No Met runner got past first base. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the fifth on walks to Rick Monday, Steve Yeager and Davey Lopes. An infield single by Bill Russell drove in one run and Garvey followed with a single to center for two more.
