Home runs by Steve Garvey and Davey Lopes powered the Dodgers to an 8-2 trouncing of the Cubs. Garvey's blast, the third grand slam of his career, came in the third inning and followed walks to Burt Hooton, Reggie Smith and Ron Cey. Lopes' round-tripper was an inside-the-park affair and came in the fourth inning following singles by Joe Ferguson and Bill Russell. [The Sporting News]
