Burt Hooton and Steve Howe combined on a four-hitter as the Dodgers shaded the Mets, 3-2. Dusty Baker clouted a homer in the first inning and Rick Monday followed suit in the second. The Dodgers added the deciding run in the fourth when Rick Monday and Hooton singled and a double by Derrel Thomas plated Monday. [The Sporting News]
