The Dodgers broke a tie with a run-scoring single by Ron Cey in the eighth inning and defeated the Mets, 4-2. A double by Mike Jorgensen helped the Mets knot the count at 2-2 in the seventh.

With one out in the eighth, Jay Johnstone walked and was forced by Dusty Baker. Steve Garvey singled, sending Baker to third, and Cey followed with his game-winning hit. [The Sporting News]
