Don Sutton highlighted a five-run first inning with a two-run single and then set the Los Angeles strikeout record while pitching the Dodgers to a 7-3 victory over the Braves. The Dodgers routed starter Preston Hanna in the first inning when Bill Russell slapped a one-out double and scored on a single by Reggie Smith. Steve Garvey stroked an RBI single and after a walk to Ron Cey and RBI single by Rick Monday, Sutton knocked in two more with his base hit.
