Unleashing a 14-hit assault, the Braves trampled the Dodgers, 10-2, as Barry Bonnell drove in four runs with a two-run homer and two-run double. The Braves trailed, 2-0, in the second inning when Bonnell unloaded a circuit clout following a single by Mike Lum. A solo homer by Dale Murphy in the third inning put the Braves ahead, 3-2.
