Batting with the bases loaded, Joe Ferguson drove in two runs with a single in the sixth inning to bring the Dodgers a 2-0 victory over the Braves. The stage was set for Ferguson's hit when Dusty Baker walked, Steve Garvey doubled and Ron Cey was passed intentionally. The victory was the Dodgers' seventh straight and reduced their magic number to six for clinching the West division title.
