Joe Ferguson collected four hits and joined with Bill Russell and Ken McMullen in accounting for two runs apiece as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 9-5. Mike Marshall made his 30th appearance of the season in relief and received credit for his sixth save after replacing Doug Rau in the sixth inning. The Dodgers began the scoring with two runs in the first on singles by Bill Buckner and Jim Wynn, an error by Mike Phillips and sacrifice fly by Willie Crawford. A walk to Crawford, double by Ferguson and singles by McMullen and Rau added three runs in the third.

The Giants came back with three runs, one on a homer by Garry Maddox, before the Dodgers scored again in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Ron Cey. Marshall wobbled in Giants' half, giving up two runs, but the Dodgers clinched the game with three in the eighth. Crawford doubled to drive in one tally before scoring himself on a single by Ferguson. [The Sporting News]
