GAME 1 - Dodger Stadium
Perez vs Osteen
Braves 5, Dodgers 4
5 singles from their first 6 batters staked the Braves to a 3-0 lead over Claude Osteen. LA chipped away, but didn't have enough firepower to come all the way back. The pressure mounted in the home half of the 9th with the Dodgers needing 3 to tie. LA got just two as the "Big Tub of Goo" was able to put out the fire and notch his 2nd save of the season. Rafael Ramirez knocked in 2 and went 4-5 to boost his average to .330. Lead foot Bob Horner (3-4 w/a walk) actually legged out a triple.
GAME 2
Niekro vs Sutton
Dodgers 8, Braves 5
Both future HOF hurlers were not on their "A" games, but it didn't matter as the bats were hot for both teams. Don Sutton gave up 5 over 8, but that was more than enough to win as Jim Brewer tossed a scoreless 9th for his 5th save. The Penguin, Ron Cey (3-3), was LA's hitting star with 3 RBI's on a triple and dinger.
GAME 3 - Fulton Cty Std.
John vs Camp
Dodgers 7, Braves 6
Tommy John flirted with trouble all day, but avoided the big inning in a ballpark where the ball normally launches into the stratosphere. The only HR on the day came from the red hot Cey (2-4), who knocked in 4 and lifted his average to .355. Six Dodger players had multi-hit games. Relievers Hough and Richert helped John win this one. Atlanta posted 14 hits, but they were only able to push 4 across the plate.
