A homer and triple by Reggie Smith paced the Dodgers to a 7-5 conquest of the Cardinals. Smith hit his circuit clout with Burt Hooton aboard on a walk and Bill North on base via a fielder's choice with two out in the seventh inning.

Smith had a run-scoring triple in the first inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ron Cey. Smith also scored from third on a double-play grounder by Steve Garvey, to break a 3-3 deadlock in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
