Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes and Ron Cey homered as the Dodgers gained an 11-4 victory in a game that was cut short by rain with the Cubs coming to bat in the seventh inning. Cey hit his homer with a man on base in the first and drove in another run with a single in the fifth. Dusty Baker also accounted for three RBIs with a pair of singles. [The Sporting News]
