Jerry Reuss permitted just three hits over six innings and Steve Howe completed the shutout and earned the save as the Dodgers began the second half of the split season with a 4-0 blanking of the Reds. All runs came in the second inning on an RBI single by Mike Scioscia, sacrifice fly by Bill Russell and run-scoring singles by Davey Lopes and Dusty Baker. [The Sporting News]
