Dusty Baker drove in six runs with four hits, including a homer with two men on base in the first inning, as the Dodgers overpowered the Giants, 11-3. Davey Lopes led off the first with a homer before Steve Garvey and Ron Cey singled and Baker hit for the circuit. Cey added a homer in the fifth.

Baker picked up his fourth RBI of the game with a single in the sixth and added two more with a bases-loaded single in the seventh. The Dodgers had a unique box score, showing 11-11-11 in runs, hits and RBIs. Darrell Evans homered for the Giants. [The Sporting News]
