Ron Cey's two-run homer highlighted the Dodgers' 5-1 triumph over the Giants. Cey's blow climaxed a three-run third inning. The Dodgers scored in the first inning on singles by Davey Lopes, Dusty Baker and Steve Garvey and the last run came in the sixth on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Reggie Smith.
