AUGUST 3 First baseman Steve Garvey cracked 2 homeruns as the Los Angeles Dodgers clobbered the outmatched Atlanta Braves, 14 to 2. Garvey really lit it up for Los Angeles. The Atlanta fans let him have it for what he did to their boys. He ripping a solo home run in the 3rd inning, lashed a single in the 5th inning, hit a one-base hit in the 7th inning and quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam (his 22nd of the season) in the 9th inning. For the game Los Angeles out-hit Atlanta 14 to 8. Burt Hooton(12-8) went 8 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Phil Niekro(14-13) was charged with the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 10 hits in 8 innings. 'I had good swings tonight,' Garvey said, 'Everything felt right'.
