A three-run homer by Dan Driessen climaxed a four-run rally in the seventh inning that lifted the Reds to a 7-6 triumph over the Dodgers. Cincinnati trailed, 6-3, going into the seventh, when Ken Griffey led off with a single.

Dave Concepcion and George Foster followed with singles to produce one run before Driessen connected for the circuit. Dusty Baker hit a two-run homer for L.A. in the first and Concepcion drilled a solo shot for the Reds in the third. [The Sporting News]
