A double by Steve Garvey with the bases loaded in the seventh inning snapped a 2-2 tie and carried the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals. With one out in the seventh, Bill North, Reggie Smith and Ron Cey hit consecutive singles to load the sacks and set up Garvey's winning smash. A homer by Ted Simmons in the eighth still left the Redbirds a run short. [The Sporting News]
