| Four-hit hurling by Jerry Reuss gave the Dodgers a 4-0 triumph over the Cardinals for Los Angeles' fourth shutout in 11 games in the second season. The Dodgers scored in their first at bat on a single by Dusty Baker and two-run homer by Steve Garvey. A wild pitch gave Los Angeles another run in the fourth inning and the final marker came in the sixth on a double by Garvey and a single by Pedro Guerrero. [The Sporting News] |
