With Don Sutton retiring the last 20 batters, the Dodgers breezed past the Mets, 7-2. Steve Garvey clouted a three-run homer in the first inning after walks to Davey Lopes and Reggie Smith. Ron Cey smashed a three-run round-tripper in the fifth frame with Smith on base via a single and Garvey aboard on an error by Frank Taveras.
