The Braves blanked the Dodgers, 9-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Tommy Boggs. Atlanta scored three runs in the first inning on singles by Jerry Royster and Glenn Hubbard, an RBI groundout by Gary Matthews and two-run homer by Bob Horner. Matthews later singled home two runs in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
