Jerry Royster, who scored the Braves' first two runs, knocked in their next three with a bases-loaded double in the eighth inning to beat the Dodgers, 5-2. The Dodgers tied the score at 2-2 in the seventh when Reggie Smith doubled and Ron Cey homered, but in the Braves' eighth Joe Nolan doubled, Glenn Hubbard singled and Biff Pocoroba, batting for Rick Matula, walked to load the bases, setting the stage for Royster's game-winning hit.
