The Dodgers registered their fifth straight victory, a 5-2 triumph over the Mets. L.A. scored twice in the second inning on an RBI double by Ron Cey and run-scoring single by Bob Welch. Cey blasted a solo homer in the fourth and Dusty Baker connected for a bases-empty shot in the sixth. The Dodgers' final marker came in the eighth on Steve Garvey's single. [The Sporting News]
