Ron Oester had a slow start to this Statis Pro season but he raised his batting average significantly after going 4 for 5 with three RBI's. Dave Parker added a solo homer too. Dale Murphy accounted for all four runs by the Braves, hitting a three run tater in the first and a solo shot in the sixth, but that's all Atlanta could muster.

Oester wasn't the only second basemen doing damage. In the bottom of the first Steve Sax mishandled a throw from the first baseman on a bunt attempt by Alan Wiggins. Having reached on the error Wiggins stole second, moved to third on a sacrifice, and scored a run on a Kevin McReynolds single. He also manage two more hits and an additional stolen base. Meanwhile, the Dodgers injury bug took another bite out of the team. Mike Scioscia is out for 20 games after a bad foul tip. Great news for Steve Yeager fans, bad that represents a significant downgrade for LA.
