In addition to pitching a four-hitter, Randy Lerch capped the Phillies' scoring with a single in a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers. The Phillies counted all their runs off Doug Rau in the fourth inning. Greg Luzinski singled, Jose Cardenal hit a ground-rule double and both scored on a double by Bob Boone before Lerch supplied the insurance marker with a single. The Dodgers scored in the fifth on a double by Ron Cey, single by Dusty Baker and forceout by Monday. [The Sporting News]
