Notching his 15th victory of the campaign, Jerry Reuss pitched the Dodgers to a 5-1 triumph over the Expos. The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a double by Davey Lopes, triple by Dusty Baker and single by Ron Cey. Two walks, an error by Andre Dawson and single by Steve Yeager made it 4-0 in the fourth and Baker stroked a run-scoring single in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
