A four-run first inning carried the Dodgers to a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals. After the first two batters in the first inning were retired, Jay Johnstone walked and Steve Garvey reached first on an error by shortstop Garry Templeton. Back-to-back singles by Ron Cey and Gary Thomasson produced two runs and Bill Russell capped the outburst with a two-run triple. [The Sporting News]
