Ron Cey hit a two-run homer in the third inning and singled in a pair of tie-breaking runs in the eighth to pace the Dodgers to a 6-4 victory over the Astros before an L.A. opening-day crowd of 45,476. The score was 4-4 in the eighth when Steve Garvey singled and Dusty Baker doubled to set up Cey's game-winning blow.
