| A three-run homer by Dusty Baker in the first inning and two-run double by Bill Russell in the third were the Dodgers' key blows in an 8-4 victory over the Braves. Derrel Thomas and Reggie Smith singled ahead of Baker's belt. After Russell's two-bagger in the fourth, the Dodgers added another pair on a grounder by Burt Hooton and an error. Gary Matthews hit two homers and Chris Chambliss one for the Braves. [The Sporting News] |
