Hitting safely in his 12th straight game, Jim Wynn drove in two runs with a pair of singles to help the Dodgers defeat the Giants, 3-2. Don Sutton gained credit for his 15th straight victory, including nine at the close of last season, two in the playoffs, one in the World Series and three in a row this year. The Giants scored an unearned run off Sutton in the second inning, but Wynn drove in the tying tally with a single in the third.

The Dodgers then posted a pair in the fifth on a double by Rick Auerbach, pass to Davey Lopes and singles by Wynn and Steve Garvey. Mike Marshall, replacing Sutton in the eighth, hurt his left side and left the mound after throwing four pitches to Derrel Thomas. Charlie Hough took over and retired Thomas but gave up a homer by Bobby Murcer, his first in the N. L., before ending the game. [The Sporting News]
