Big Day by Garvey Ignites Dodgers Win
Steve Garvey was a major contributor to the 6-3 Los Angeles win over Atlanta. The Dodgers first baseman was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Fernando Valenzuela, the winning pitcher, improved to 19-2. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 3. The victory gives Los Angeles a record of 72-35.

Garry Maddox, the former first round draft pick , had a direct impact on the outcome. Maddox contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Los Angeles up, 1-0.

"We'll sip on a cold one and savor this win," said Garvey.
