Shackled on six hits by Rick Rhoden, the Reds lost to the Dodgers, 2-0, for their sixth straight defeat. While losing for the eighth time in the last 10 games, the Reds suffered their fourth shutout. The Dodgers, who extended their winning streak to six games, also were held to six hits by Tom Seaver, but they included a homer by Steve Garvey in the seventh inning. The other run counted in the ninth on singles by Reggie Smith, Garvey and Dusty Baker. [The Sporting News]
