june 12 Ron Cey hit for the cycle and Burt Hooton pitched 7 strong innings at Fulton Cnty. Stadium as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the pitiful Atlanta Braves 4 to 3. Los Angeles had the game winning rally in the top of the 8th inning with 2 runs using 2 hits. After an out was recorded, Steve Garvey kicked off the action when he blasted a solo shot (his 5th of the season). Cey came next and he tripled. Gary Matthews then hit a deep fly scoring the final run of the inning. Atlanta had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Hooton(7-5) went 7 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Hooton got relief help from Dick Drago who gained credit for his 5th save. Mike Beard(0-5) was the losing pitcher in relief. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 3 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings.

Stadium. In the 7th inning Los Angeles scored 2 runs with the help of 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Roger Metzger began the rally when he lashed a single. Garvey came next and he laced a single. Ron Cey was a strikeout victim, unable to help out. John Hale came up and he laced a one-base hit, and an error was also committed, which scored a run. Jim Wynn came to the plate and was walked intentionally to load the bases. Gary Matthews added to the outburst and drew a walk scoring the final run of the inning. Atlanta had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. The winning pitcher was Andy Messersmith(9-6) who allowed 4 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. Grant Jackson got the save, his 9th. Max Leon(1-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. By giving up 2 runs in 2 innings his ERA increased from 3.13 to 3.48. 'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it was nothing.' Messersmith said. 'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put the ball where I wanted it.'
