Scoring four runs in the fourth inning without the aid of a hit, the Dodgers downed the Mets, 5-3. The Mets' Hubie Brooks tied a league record held by nine other third basemen since 1900 when he made three consecutive errors in an inning. Steve Yeager reached second when Brooks threw his two-out grounder into the dugout, and scored when Brooks failed to handle Derrel Thomas' slow bouncer. Brooks then booted a grounder by Bob Welch.
