Scattering six hits over 7 2/3 innings and driving in two runs with a double, Burt Hooton led the Dodgers to their sixth straight victory, a 4-2 win over the Giants. The pitcher's two-bagger came in the fourth chukker, following singles by Pedro Guerrero and Mike Scioscia and an infield hit by Bill Russell that loaded the sacks. [The Sporting News]
