Ron Cey hit a three-run homer and Dusty Baker followed with a solo swat in a third-inning outburst that powered the Dodgers to a 4-2 victory, ending the Cubs' six-game winning streak. Cey's round-tripper came after Bill Russell reached base on an error by shortstop Ivan DeJesus and Steve Garvey was hit by a pitch. Baker then added his shot. [The Sporting News]
