Although Tom Seaver allowed only four hits, they included a pair of homers by Dusty Baker, who batted the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Reds. Jerry Reuss, who was the winner, pitched a five-hitter with the Reds' run coming on a round-tripper by Johnny Bench in the second inning.

The Dodgers tied the score in the third when Davey Lopes walked, stole second and came home on a single by Pedro Guerrero. Baker broke the tie with a circuit clout in the fourth and clinched the verdict with his second smash in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
