A three-run homer by Ron Cey, his second in two games, powered the Dodgers to a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Cey's blast came in the third inning and followed a single by Bill Russell and a walk to Steve Garvey. The Braves' tallies came on a bases-loaded walk in the fourth and a solo homer by Jeff Burroughs in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
