The Dodgers chased Seaver with 7 runs in the first two innings. Sutton took a shutout in to the 8th, but settled for a complete game, giving up 2 runs and striking out 6 Mets. Final score 9-2
Game 2: Messersmith vs. Matlack
The teams traded runs in the first two innings and then the Dodgers slowed started showing their offensive prowess as they scored 1 in the 4th, 1 in the 5th, and 2 in the 6th on their way to a 5-3 victory. Davey Lopes hits 2 HRs with 4 RBIs.
Game 3: Hooton vs Koosman
A questionable decision as LA started Burt Hooton who has spent most of his time in the bullpen this season. But with a 4 game series with the Reds coming up the Dodgers wanted to save their starting rotation. Hooton went 6 2/3 innings before leaving with an injury and a 3-2 lead. The Dodgers chalked up two more runs. The Mets made noise in the 9th as Stearns homered and Harrelson singled with two outs, but Brewer got his 5th save as Millan grounded out to end the game.
Dodgers sweep the series and improve their record to 18-12 as the Mets fall to 13-17.
