Two-run homers by Davey Lopes and Lee Lacy supported four-hit pitching by Burt Hooton as the Dodgers blanked the Expos, 4-0. Lopes smacked a round-tripper in the seventh inning following a single by Joe Ferguson. In the eighth frame, a single by Ron Cey preceded a homer by Lacy. [The Sporting News]
