Steve Garvey drove in three runs with a two-run homer and single to pace the Dodgers to a 7-1 decision over the Braves as Burt Hooton, although going only 5 1/3 innings, received credit for his seventh victory with no defeats. The Dodgers scored three runs in the first frame on run-scoring singles by Garvey and Dusty Baker and an RBI groundout by Ron Cey. Garvey's round-tripper came in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
