The Dodgers, after breaking a 2-2 tie with a run in the sixth inning, scored on a double steal in the seventh and then added four tainted tallies in the eighth to clinch an 8-2 victory over the Braves. Steve Garvey doubled in the first to drive in the Dodgers' first two runs. Billy Williams tied the score with a two-run double in the third.

Garvey walked in the sixth, advanced on a sacrifice and counted the tie-breaking run on a single by Ron Cey. Davey Lopes singled in the seventh, took third on a single by Bill Buckner and scored on a double steal, streaking home during an attempted rundown of Buckner between first and second.
