The Dodgers, after losing their first encounter of the year with the Expos, completed a sweep of the next 11 games in the season series by winning a doubleheader, 2-0 and 7-2. Jerry Reuss pitched a four-hitter and posted his sixth shutout in the opener. Davey Lopes scored both Dodgers runs. Lopes singled in the first inning, stole second and counted on a single by Jay Johnstone. Then in the sixth, Lopes doubled and scored on a single by Dusty Baker.

In the nightcap, Ron Cey, Rick Monday and Joe Ferguson hit consecutive homers in the second inning. Baker batted in two more runs with a bases-loaded single before the inning ended. Ferguson homered again in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
