A run-scoring single by Manny Mota in the 10th inning for the 133rd pinch-hit of the veteran's career enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Giants, 2-1. The Dodgers counted their initial run off Bob Knepper in the second on a walk to Steve Garvey, single by Joe Ferguson, a wild pitch and passes to Steve Yeager and Burt Hooton. The Giants, who were held to five hits by Hooton, tied the score in the seventh with a single by Bill Madlock, pass to Jack Clark, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Willie McCovey.
