. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jerry Reuss, with relief help from Don Stanhouse, notched his 12th victory as the Dodgers downed the Braves, 5-3. The game was tied, 3-3, when Pedro Guerrero singled with one out in the sixth, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a double by Steve Yeager. Guerrero's sacrifice fly in the eighth provided an insurance marker. Steve Garvey drilled a solo homer in the second and Dusty Baker clouted a two-run shot in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
