Yielding only three hits, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers to a 3-1 decision over the Cubs. The Dodgers scored twice in their first turn at bat. Davey Lopes singled, advanced to third on a single by Rudy Law and scored on an infield hit by Reggie Smith. A double by Steve Garvey then plated Law. A pass to Joe Ferguson, sacrifice by Sutton and single by Lopes added a tally in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
