Lashing out three hits including a three-run homer, Pedro Guerrero led the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over the Reds. The Dodgers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on a run-scoring single by Guerrero, and the center fielder belted his round-tripper in the sixth following one-out singles by Steve Garvey and Ron Cey.
