| The Reds won their fourth straight game, beating the Dodgers, 5-1, as Dan Driessen led the way with three RBIs. A double by Dave Collins, single by Ken Griffey and walk to George Foster loaded the bases in the first inning before Driessen singled home two runs. Driessen stroked a run-scoring single in the fourth before Ron Oester delivered a sacrifice fly and Joe Nolan cracked an RBI double in the eighth. Mario Soto went the route on a seven-hitter.
