Dodgers 10, Phillies 0 at Los Angeles (night game):

The Pirates counted their pair in the first when Rennie Stennett was hit by a pitch and Al Oliver homered. Errors by Craig Reynolds and Stennett and successive singles by Rowland Office and Larvell Blanks for the first hits off Candelaria produced the Braves' tying pair in the seventh. Reynolds committed his second error of the game in the ninth, booting a grounder by Vic Correll. After a sacrifice and pass to Blanks, Cito Gaston popped up for the second out but Ralph Garr singled, driving in the tie-breaking tally. Rob Belloir greeted reliever Dave Giusti with a run-scoring single. After a pass to Darrell Evans, Dusty Baker singled to climax the Braves' four-run outburst.

Astros 5, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals' defense fell apart with five errors that resulted in three unearned runs and made it easy for the Astros to post a 5-1 victory.
