1979-08-10 Dodgers at Giants

[Music] Najee baseball is brought to you by Budweiser for all you dudes this Bud's for you by your neighborhood Union 76 dealers who invite you to go with the spirit the spirit of 76 5 farmer John the only Packer who brings Easton corn-fed pork out here live and dresses the meat fresh right here locally before cans for products in their freshest farmer John and buy Dotson best price the Austin 280zx if you're dachshund dealer today [Music] tonight's game comes to you from Candlestick Park in San Francisco where the Dodgers faced the Giants hi everybody and a very pleasant Friday night to you wherever you may be it's the Giants and the Dodgers so pull up a chair and spend part of the evening with us the Dodgers have done well against the Giants winning eight out of ten six out of seven a Dodger Stadium and two of the three played here Don Sutton who will open up the series for the Dodgers has started to click again particularly against San Francisco even though he's under 500 Don is now 9 and 12 and he has beaten the Giants three times this year actually he's beaten them four straight meetings so Don Sutton will go up against left-hander Bob Knepper the Dodgers have a good deal of success against left-handers of late they're almost 2 to 1 to the good against left-handers all year and they beaten them 7 straight the Dodgers opening up the series tonight tomorrow afternoon and Sunday they're out on a road trip which encompasses San Francisco then st. Louis Pittsburgh and Chicago the Giants will also leave Candlestick Park after this series and they'll hit the road so neither club has done very well on the road and it'll be interesting to see how the Dodgers fare every time they seem to put it together at Dodger Stadium and they go out on the road and suffer all kinds of problems and indignities and they're coming off their most recent home stand for they won 5 out of 7 there we'll have another look to see whether they can climb over San Diego and catch San Francisco and move up the knotch but they'll have to improve on the road without a doubt the Dodgers also come to San Francisco I guess you could say with hearts at half-mast after all they're not about to get over the loss of chairman of the board Walter Francis O'Malley none of us will tonight we will have a moment of silence before the national anthem and as we understand it the Giants and the Dodgers will each take the field line up along the lines between home plate first and third and it seems only right I guess that there should be a moment here when the Giants and the Dodgers are playing because the giant Dodger rivalry meant so much to Walter O'Malley way back in Brooklyn and then of course when he was making his move to California it was so important for him that ha Stoneham and the Giants come with him if I can remember my history books at the time when he was leaving for Los Angeles the word was that Horace Stoneham was going to move the Giants to Minnesota to Minneapolis that would have been the Minneapolis Giants which at the time Minneapolis was their number one farm club anyway but the discussion continued between the two men Walter O'Malley finally convinced higher Stoneham you moved to San Francisco I'll be in Los Angeles our rivalry will continue and continue it did hard to believe in 1959 they were at each other's throats after a somewhat dismal 58 remember they opened up Dodger Stadium against each other later on 1962 one of the great moments in giant history when they came out of the pack and when Sandy Koufax came up with a sore arm Sandy Koufax just add a little extra luster to this weekend sandy is here he's in uniform maybe sometime during today tomorrow and or Sunday we can have a shot of the fabled left-hander once again in a Dodger uniform but it's the Giants and the Dodgers and as we look on our monitor and we look down into the Dodger dugout you can see Joe Ferguson with the mustache and that Sandy Koufax sitting just afar jeez left seems like old times to see number 32 out there throwing a few baseball's he was on the mound and he pitched a little batting practice as well well we got some kind of production here at Candlestick not quite what we had heard the Giants are taking their defensive stations I do not know whether the entire giant Dodger ball clubs will take the field as we had been led to believe but I do know that in a moment the crowd will be asked to stand for the moment of silence for Walter Francis O'Malley we understand funeral Mass will be held perhaps tomorrow but strictly in private for the family and in lieu of flowers contributions the male Foundation in Minnesota and now the crowd standing for a moment of silence memory of the chairman of the board Walter O'Malley [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]

backhanded a third by Evans and he throws it into right field Furguson holding his prey marvelous stop he took a double away from Ferguson Evans then overshot go strange and it will be a fielder's

3 in the 7th and one in the 8th to do it Davey Lopes still up there three and two [Applause] popped in the air out of play the Dodgers have not only hit a lot of home runs but they have kept a pretty good spread between home runs they have had and home runs hit by the Opposition is almost a difference of 60 in their favors the Giants the other way around the Giants have hit a hundred and three home runs the opposition 107 fold everything as Lopes hits one to deep left field back goes IV and he they'd rather historic [Music] [Applause] [Music] highest number of home runs every hit by a dodgy 2nd baseman he's hi Jimmy Lefevre at 24 and now Davi stands alone as he drives it out so the Dodgers have hit three home runs in the inning is you take another look at little Davey driving it out and for Bob Knepper he just serves up too many of those 3 home runs tonight Knepper has given a 24 home run and so Bob Knepper who worked only three innings against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium and the Dodgers calmed him for nine hits and five runs tonight they rack him up for six runs four hits three of the four hits home runs one of them a grand slammer and the Bob Knepper driven to cover Joe Altobelli walking out with him a twenty dollar book of Union auto script the All Nations Foundation in Los Angeles so six to nothing Dodgers and Edie whole icky will be coming in and it gives us a

his sixth relief assignment Palicki has allowed about a home run a game he is given up 10 and 90 innings and Bill Russell will be the batter so the dodges with a six run second inning and they lead San Francisco's six to nothing [Applause] right filed away home runs in the inning by say and Lopes with the bases empty and a grand slammer by Darrell Thomas for the Dodgers of it 15 home runs against the Giants for each by saying Lopes [Applause] [Applause] take a look at a six seven right hand who comes at you in sections like a hook and ladder one and two [Applause] edia lucky will be 29

that's gonna be a face set run down by Joe strain Garvey will hold though that I'd use six runs on five hits here in the second inning and Ron Cey who started it all off with the home run coming up [Applause] shows you what a difference there is from one year to the next in baseball last year the Giants were the only team in the major league with three starting pitches with earn runs under three Bob Knepper edia lucky and by two blues and now look at it by the Brewers earned run five and a half Knepper is about four and a half and Halicki is four and a half difference from one year to the

[Applause] [Music] last year they were talking about a pennant this year they're talking about a hanging up here johnny Lemaster [Applause] there's Dusty Baker he singled in the second inning ball one [Applause] groundball back a third and Darrell Evans goes to the bag for the last hour six runs five hits two errors at the end of the and a half dodgy six giant stomach [Applause] Don Sutton stake to a six to nothing lead in the second inning if he pitching to Willie McCovey might IV and in Darrell Evans willie mccovey hitting 253 14 home runs 49 runs batted in it was rather outspoken in the press criticizing whereas a low belly doesn't need anymore criticism with the way the Giants have been going the Giants however are in third place eleven and a half back but Willy made the body at his door right [Applause] 6-nothing Dodgers second inning [Applause] started in Darryl Thomas comes over and takes the last game that Mickey played in right field that Dodger Stadium was a Twilight game and he had a lot of trouble but it was understandable because phylite time is tough he was very tentative and finally Thomas came over on necklace we still have some cotton candy sky up there but he didn't look like he really picked that ball up at all one down and Mike Ivey the batter it was ivy who ruined Sutton's big for his 50th shutout when last they faced each other at Dodger Stadium strike IV hitting 310 he has 19 home runs second the Clark 63 runs batted in 2nd to fly [Applause] one ball one strike to Mike IV dodges leading six to nothing and their trademark home runs by cey and Lopes with the bases empty and a grand slammer first of his career by Darryl Thomas ground foul one and two Darrell Evans on deck [Applause] [Applause] two and two Don Sutton every time he goes to the mound of course he writes his name and another chapter in dodgy history ball three for Sutton this is his 479 start the most by any Dodger pitcher for that matter only 33 pitchers in Major League history have started more games than Don the next man on the list he has three more to make Bob Gibson had 482 pop foul off to the right and out of play [Applause] in talking about how he moves up baseball's ladder Don Sutton with 214 victories there are 55 pitchers in history of one more the man in front of him Jim Perry won 215 so he could catch Perry tonight 3 & 2 all for to ivy Giants get a base runner Mike Ivey and the batter is Darryl Evan Evans made a great stop of the ball hit by Ferguson but then flew it in the right field trying to get a force but because Darryl can get you well in a hurry with his swing of the bat Evans has 15 home runs 55 runs batted in and he said more home runs against the Dodgers and anybody else he's hit 26 [Applause] flyball the left-field coming in and over his Baker two down in the second inning that'll bring up Johnny lemasters IV at first held on by Garvey [Music] Johnny lemaster hitting 268 one home run 19 runs batted in if they get down to huh lucky spot naturally trailing 6 to nothing there thinking hitter so they get the bullpen out Tommy Griffin begins to throw in the giant bullpen there's Tommy one ball and no strikes to Jonny Lemaster pop fly rustle going out Darrel Thomas digging he's there nothing across a man left on a walk and at the end of two died you six giants another [Applause] [Applause] two innings in the Dodgers six runs five hits and of the five hits three home runs Lopes and say with the bases empty and a grand slammer by Darrell Thomas idealogy who had to pick up the pieces for Bob Knepper and it might be helices last inning of work because Tommy Griffin has been throwing back of him and Halicki is due to bat second when the Giants hit in the bottom of the third [Applause] Joe Ferguson hit the ball hard but that's when Evans made a fine play only to throw it away after taking an extra base hit away he's late and fouls it away no play for Little John Denis Littlejohn off the campus of USC he was on that broad dado team that boasted among others Fred Lynn Steve Kemp Roy Smalley rich tower and Dennis Little John of course Camp Lynn and Smalley on the American League all-star team one on one to count it Fergie [Applause] filed away didn't get around on it 1 & 2 [Applause] one and Judah Ferguson - and - we had some Japanese Little Leaguers when we were home at Dodger Stadium the other day here at Candlestick they have a Taiwan championship little league team down goes Fergie good off-speed pitch the change got it he was very late on to good fastball and then he was way out in front of the chain [Music] here's Mickey Hatcher he has picked up a nickname his name is Michael Hatcher but in one of his in fact it was his debut game there was a mistake in the LA Times they refer to him as Roger Hatcher so now naturally amongst the ballclub is Roger so he is playing this game under an assumed name one and one Michael had you born in Cleveland raised in Arizona went to school at the University of Oklahoma there's one just there inside third and down the line so Mickey on his way to second base and in there standing with a double and for Hatcher his first extra-base hit Mickey now is 4 for 11 with a double and two runs batted in since he hit 371 at Albuquerque he figures to have his share of them before he jumped on it no play by Evans that was just an echo [Applause] so the Dodgers with three home runs and a double leading six to nothing here's the Grand Slam man Darryl Thomas ball one Darryl hit the slam as a right-handed batter now we'll go the other way against flicky first Grand Slam of his career August the 10th 1979 wanna know Mickey Hatcher at second base 6-nothing Dodgers top of the third [Applause] off speed and away ball two to another Darryl [Applause] [Applause] dropped in there 3 and 1/2 counted Darryl Thomas [Applause] popped in the air behind the play Little John coming back doubtful no play the giant started tonight eleven and a half games back of Houston Houston has just beaten Atlanta to the one and the Dodgers started tonight four and a half games behind San Francisco you're watching Dodger baseball on KETV channel 11 in Los Angeles [Applause] [Applause] three and two ball four to Gerald though with one out dodges at first and second Don Sutton coming up and the Giants will probably look fun Sutton head back to the box in the second inning Don is a good money he sacrificed five times this year [Applause] and for a pitcher he strikes out less than 25% of the time so he can handle the bat [Applause] and he missed the bunt and they've got a hatchet and Darrell Evans will tag him out as he left the base line going into second Darrell Tommy when he tries to get a jump on the bunt and the throw immediately set him up he had nowhere to go lemaster just chased him and then flipped it to Darrell Evans Mickey he'll try and get down and under but he got him so 2 6 5 Darryl Thomas advancing to second two out [Applause] one in one account [Applause] fouled off 1 & 2 Dodge's six runs six hits Giants no runs no hits and two errors and there's Mickey somewhat embarrassed right now having been hung out to dry on that miss bun sucked in his Park looking and the Dodgers come right out of the third inning no runs one hit a man left and at the end of two and a half dodges six Giants nothing [Applause] Friday night August

there one and two [Applause] though Bob Knepper went in in a third charge with six runs Halicki and inning in two thirds and we'll be seeing Tommy Griffin in the board foul tipped in Hell by Fergie

Dodger Stadium trying for his 50th shutout taking plenty of time and he gets bill North swinging and the Giants have done and that's two strikeouts for Sutton who has not allowed a hit through three innings Ross will be along in a minute and the score the end of three the Dodger six and the Giants nothing [Applause] you know back when I made road pictures when you made a buck you kept a buck but

market the Treasury bill account of California Federal Savings it's a sweet deal for savers and here's this week's rate [Music] [Applause] good evening everybody from Candlestick Park in San Francisco and of course even though the Dodgers are starting this road trip tonight many of our thoughts all day have been of Walter O'Malley and as we came into Candlestick Park tonight we thought about the year I guess it was 1957 when Walter O'Malley talked Horace Stoneham into moving the Giants to San Francisco he was going to move the Dodgers to Los Angeles what a change that was for baseball and you look back now over those 22 seasons and see what a great rivalry it has been on the west coast we were figuring it up today they played a little over 400 times the Giants and Dodgers since they came to California against one another and then those 407 games you know the Dodgers have only three more victories than the Giants it's been a great series and it's a great tribute to Walter F O'Malley that he who had the inspiration the foresight to see back in 1957 what baseball could mean as far as the national pastime was concerned six to nothing tonight the Dodgers ahead let's go to the fourth

runner at third it's the first time tonight the Giants have come 90 feet away line the left bakers and so the Giants have turned away in the seventh inning despite another ball hit to the outfield that line drive is that Dusty Baker no runs one hit and two left and at the end of seven dodges seven Giants nothing [Applause] [Music] this Bud's for everyone or helps you take us out to the ballgame yeah just for you that distinctively clean crisp taste that says Budweiser this Bud's for you [Music] [Applause] [Music] San Francisco loves nasty and that spell nests to an ast you nickname nasty the left-hander coming in with a record of three and four nasty started 14 games and completed one this will be his ninth assignment and relief earned run average a little over four but the story is still hanging Don Sutton in pursuit of his fiftieth shutout what a big one that would be for him and especially since he came so close and was so frustrated at Dodger Stadium when the Giants bad in the bottom of the 8th bill North Joe strain and Jack Clark but meanwhile on the top it'll be Davey Lopes Bill Russell and Steve Garvey [Applause] Davey Lopes grounded out Homer walked and struck out [Music] [Applause] [Music] Davey won 4-3 strike pretty good fastball on one [Music] a little bit high one in one [Applause] Phil Nash - is born in Bridgeport Connecticut he was 24 in March 6 280 pounder he still lives in Bridgeport [Applause] that's just right [Applause] paid attendance thirty one thousand five hundred and thirty thirty one v 3o with over thirty two in the house in the dirt till Nestor has been pitching professionally only since 1977 and he came up briefly last year so he has really moved in a hurry they graduated from the University of Bridgeport in 77 quite a basketball players well he's big enough at 6 to 3 and 2 the count of Davey Lopes [Applause] for for the baby gets the board the second walk that he's received and the batter will be Bill Russell the Dodgers were retired and ordered tonight only once and that was in the first inning by Bob Knepper but in the second inning they jumped all over Knepper so it means in the last four innings against left-handed Bob Knepper the Dodgers have touched him up for 11 earned runs [Applause] ball one to Bill Russell the Dodgers trying to make it eight straight winning decisions against left-handers [Applause] one and OH a busted bat and a flyball into shallow right and it lands in front of Clark I don't know whether Jack in or one maybe the broken back positive he might have reacted the wrong way at first you see Lopes just you know Russell would just say I didn't know and it landed here quickly if it landed a footer show in front of Jack Paar's anyway it'll be a base hit the Dodgers have to on watch this now watch to see if we can see where the ball live right yeah it bounced up and would it hit him in the kneecap it was that close it's been that kind of a night for the Giants so far and here's Garvey now with two on and nobody out Steve is two for four struck out twice and single twice [Applause] seven nothing Dodgers eighth-inning ball one [Applause] [Music] Davey Lopes at second Bill Russell at first nobody out in the eighth that are you seven runs on a dozen hits [Applause] there one thing about Garvey tonight that's been a little different he has oh he has to hit his struck out twice and most of the time he has swung and missed the ball usually he gets a piece of it he's not a strikeout man at all thus he has reached that stature where you're talking about him not having a particularly good night in he's two for four [Applause] and this time he hits it over the head of strain for his third hit Lopes with score and the dodges breezing and for Garvey leading the league in hips he has a hundred and fifty for his [Music] so the Dodgers get little nasty with nasty lead ate nothing and with nobody out Ron Sayed about it [Applause] Ron Cey homered aboard on an error struck out and popped up in the bullpen greg minton begins to warm up he would be the sixth giant pitchy used in the game there's Greg for one of course the Giants are coming off being shut out John Deere kissed oh and the San Diego Padres shut him out yesterday for two nothing but ideas happened by the neck through seven innings tonight eight to nothing one ball no strikes [Applause] pop foul down the right-field line and peeling back into the stands out of play again the paid attendance 30 1530 with over 32,000 in the crowd [Applause] ain't nothing Dodgers with six in the second one in the fifth and one here in the eighth [Applause] Ron Shay with 21 home runs and a chance to pick up some more runs batted in [Applause] [Applause] basket ball hammered to left but right there staying with filled his mic IV that thing was drilled and the runners hold so the out is a long line drive and the batter is Dusty Baker [Applause] bake a single hit into a force play walked and flied to Center dusty one for three in the Dodger lineup only Joe Ferguson and Don Sutton are without a hit and Fergie lost a possible hit back in the second inning [Applause] [Music] right on one [Applause] oh really it would not appear as if the game is in doubt anymore but she never can tell but the big story is Ken Sutton Megan he needs six more outs [Applause] little pop fly backer first down the line and it's going to drop foul bark McCovey and strain going down there oh and two to Dusty Baker [Applause] when the Giants hid in the bottom of the 8th inning a formidable trio bill North Joe strain and Jack Clark if anybody gets on Willie McCovey Don Sutton with 49 shutouts tied with Don Drysdale one back in San Diego's Gaylord Perry in Cincinnati's Tom Seaver among active national league pitchers four shutouts little flyball to Center bill North with the speed to get there and the runners at the hole so two on two out and the one man they hadn't been able to dip into the cookie jar here's Joe Ferguson bored on an era struck out flied to right hit into a force play [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Bill Russell at second Steve Garvey at first two out top of the eighth Dodgers eight Giants nothing [Applause] ball one don't forget Dodgers will be home Friday night August 24th with the Cardinals remember we have some feature attraction the 24th family night chance to meet the

five of the last seven they won twenty out of twenty six going into this game a candlestick - and one - Joe Ferguson with two on and two out ball three well in this spot and especially with the score you know that Ferguson is allowed to swing if he likes it likes the pitch and location three in one to Joe Burgie with 15 home runs 54 runs batted in [Applause] so ago all away [Music] on deck Mickey Hatcher boy what a night he's has Hatcher has a walk a single a double and his first major league home run runners will be going now with a full count and two down Russell and Garvey there they go fastball is hit in the center so welcome to the club Joe he gets the base hit to score Russell Garvey stop to third it is 9 to nothing Dodgers so Joe Ferguson joins in the fun with a base hit and a run batted in that's three hits and two runs off Phil masters and here's Mickey Hatcher bidding for a perfect night [Music] interesting after the walk he doubled inside third he homered to deep left center and he single to right ball one nasty only almost tumbled off the mound that time one and OH [Applause] Giants must really be high on mass dude with a little bit of my league experience he has [Applause] and imagine he started to pitch professionally the middle of 77 and he made the ball club this year a club that a lot of people around these parts thought had a shot at winning the pennant a fill nest to an ast you must have a lot of ability now three you know and Lasorda will no doubt allow Hatcher to swing three you know and it's up to Mickey and he's taking a strike three and one looks at Gomez and again we would think that he'd be allowed to hit first and third two out eighth-inning nine nothing Dodgers ball four so it's a perfect night for hatchet two walks a single a double and his first major league home run and here's another fellow who's gotten a lot of walks Joe Altobelli the giant manager heading for the hill again [Music] [Applause] greg minton down there in the bullpen [Applause] [Music] the Dodgers in a 9 to nothing game are gonna make some changes Davey Lopes with his windbreaker on is gonna call it a night Dusty Baker puts on a windbreaker and it looks like dusty is gonna go Whitlow they were going to go right now but I think they've decided let's wait till the last out before leaving they go back in the dugout and sit down Teddy mightiness has already gone down to the bullpen to warm up [Applause] and I guess wouldn't be too surprised if manny mota in a one-sided game had a shot at breaking the record here's Darryl Thomas Darryl's had a big night first grand slam home run of his career he also walked and singled last time up he hit into a double play been a stormy inning for nasty three hits two walks and two runs two and oh you'd have to call Lloyd's of London to figure out the odds of Darryl Thomas hitting another grand slam the RV at third Ferguson at second Hatcher at first ball three the young Phil nasty struggling boy it figures he'd struggle not just tonight right you know [Applause] down the pipe 9 nothing Dodgers 9 runs 14 hits the Giants no runs four hits and the big story yet to be answered 10 Don Sutton come up with his 50th shutout that's a strike throw the full count and two down darrel Thomas trying to pick up somebody with Garvey Ferguson and Hatcher all ready to go and he hits a flyball into shallow center strain out north in and it's north so the Dodgers settle for two runs three hits and leave free at the end of seven and a half the Dodgers nine the Giants nothing your eyes for the Dodgers have made the anticipated changes Dusty Baker comes out and Gary Thomasson takes over in left field at second base Teddy Martinez takes over for Davey Lopes 9 to nothing in favor of the Dodgers and Don Sutton became heartbreakingly close to winning his 50th at Dodger Stadium his 50th shut up and then gave up the homerun to Mike Ivey in the eighth and he went on to win handily anyway now here he is again so close he is six outs away from in his way north strain and Clark here in the eighth-inning McCovey IV and evidence that's the total thirty one thousand five hundred and thirty paid tomorrow warm up at 12:45 Charlie Hough and ed witson drive into Ryan Hatcher has it hit over his head and Mickey [Music] [Applause] Illinois's drives one deep into a feel for a double [Music] wild pitch on ball for the Giants got him into third no chance for Hatcher to catch up to it so a runner at second and nobody out strange Clark and McCovey and Don Sutton trying so hard to get the fiftieth one for three North deferred yours that is 14 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] makes it by stealing third and now the Giants are 90 feet away from breaking Sutton's heart 9 nothing in favor buddy out yo strange flied to left struck out and singled the infield is back and he popped it up and saying foul ground one away Lenora the third with one out like the better Jack Clark grounded to short doubled into the left-field corner and fouled out to Garvey in the sectioning one for three [Music] right Don Sutton is struck out five walk to allowed five hits two of the five hits doubles one and one on deck Willie McCovey big chopper to say he's holding North and going after him now and tags him so bill North is snuffed out coming down the line from third now Sutton has a much better shot Barca board on the fielder's choice and North tagged out by se Willie McCovey the batter flied to right to short grounded out off garbage clubs to Lopes who flew to Sutton McCovey oh four three two out in the eighth nine nothing Dodgers Clarke goes the pitch high the throw got him and now shut me three outs away from no runs one hit nobody left and at the end of eight the Dodgers nine and the Giants nothing [Applause] this Bud's for everyone who's into hot tracks of red-hot cars this one's for you [Music] yeah just for you the Budweiser spiders and the clean crisp taste of the king of beers this Bud's for you [Music] ninth inning with the Dodgers leading the Giants nine nothing and so Sutton coming up the head three outs away from his fiftieth shutout and of course he has gotten just about every goal that he is wanted he has climbed just about every mountain that's the one I'm sure he will cherish if he can get it tied with Drysdale with 49 Gaylord Perry and Tom Seaver active with 50 and in the history books Mordechai Brown George Waddell and Vic Willis but he's got three outs left to look ahead because that really is the drama of the game now the bottom of the ninth Willie McCovey Mike IV and Darrell Evans [Applause] top of the ninth inning nine nothing dodgy down go Sutton Hoo couldn't care less get back in the dugout and rest and Gary Thomasson who is in the leadoff spot will be coming up [Applause] Davey Lopes the played eight innings walk twice and homer and Gary Thomasson coming up with Bill Russell on deck [Applause] Gary at one time in his career played up here hitting

[Applause] [Music] pop foul off first slicing away from the Covey and should go in the stands and does thirty 1530 paid over 32,000 in the house and it has been all Dodgers Dodgers scored six times in the second inning home runs by Ron Cey Davey Lopes and a grand slammer the first of his career by Darryl Thomas the Dodgers later had a home run by Mickey Hatcher's first big league home run and they filed a fourteen hits and a nine nothing lead [Applause] wanted to [Applause] Steve Garvey on day flow and hi look like nasty tried to turn it over and little angry at himself that got away Garvey three four five on day perfect night for Mickey Hatcher Mickey Hatcher the Dodger right fielder denied Wharf twice at a single a double and the homerun [Applause] three and two fouled off to repeat when the Giants come up in the night the formidable challenge Willie McCovey Mike IV and Darrell Evans maybe not to challenge the Dodgers nine nothing lead but to challenge Sutton's attempt at the shutout by all the way again [Applause] and of course don't forget the postgame show we'll have a chance to check all the scores with the accent on all a lot of scores tonight now on the biggest crowd of the year a setting in a detent record in Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium over 63,000 in Philadelphia tonight to see the Pirates and the Phillies in the doubleheader [Applause] punched on the right

Datsun 280zx and it's all mine ours my glad we prize to Z before we settled for something else race a Datsun 280zx don't let that styling that luxury that performance mislead you you could get an epa-estimated City range of 350 miles and highway range of over 550 on one tank of gas price a Datsun 280zx it costs less than you think and gives us more [Applause] bottom of the ninth inning the Dodgers nine runs 14 hits and no errors the Giants no runs five hits and two errors Don Sutton with one more mountain to climb and standing in his way Willie McCovey Mike Ivey and Darrell Evans they have one hit amongst them McCovey flied to right popped to short and grounded out he was left at the plate in the eighth inning when Jack Clark was thrown out trying to steal and Don Sutton ready to work but should be a dramatic ninth-inning despite nine nothing score trike one [Music] felt it down in the corner foul Oh into [Applause] three outs away from his 50th shutout 1 & 2 along the way McCovey old for three Don Sutton is struck out five walk to and a wild pitch fouled away McCovey out in front of it you would never know it is a 9 to nothing game and watching Sutton but he knows how important it is he's labour a long time to get here trying to pass Drysdale and the Dodger record book 1 & 2 it is hard enough to win in the big leagues here's a man who's gonna win his 215 but 50 shutouts that's something but he hasn't got that yet 2 & 2 [Applause] doing two to McCovey [Applause] on the corner strike three call and McCovey thought sure it was ball four [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you shot the ball down he goes [Applause] that's six strikeouts for Don suddeniy now here's the man who broke the bubble at Dodger Stadium Mike IV he did it in the eighth inning down there tonight his walk struck out and singled after I becomes evidence little pop foul Garvey coming over and now suddenly Sutton needs one more out and standing in the way is Darrell Evans Evans has flied to left lined out to right and lined out to Center it's pretty hard to call a 9 to nothing game dramatic but there's a lot of drama here now [Applause] for one [Applause] one and one we're out a moment for Don Sutton and for Patty and the kids [Applause] ball two two and one [Applause] Darrell Evans he has hurt the Dodgers many times along the way up there now to count two balls in one strike miss the corner ball three on deck Johnny lemaster Evans of course a power hitter lemaster is not the 3-1 pitch ball four he mighta pitched around Evans in other words he he had to go head-to-head with Mikami but he didn't have to go ahead to head with Evan though with two out he pitches around Evan and Lemaster the master has just one home run the would appear logical there's this time lemaster flied to Center flied to right and struck out over three [Applause] and now suddenly Sutton is one strike away one last lunge to get to the top of baseball's Mount Everest 50 shoutout Valar
