Seaver had some troubles with the strike zone, but didn't allow a hit to the Matts until Davey Lopes singled in the 5th.
Sutton had allowed 3 hits in that time, but none got past first base.
For a short time the Matts bats came to life in the top of the 6th
- Merv Rettenmund singled to start the inning
- Willie Crawford followed with another single, moving Rettenmund to third, Crafrod took second on the throw to third
- Bobby Grich then singled scoring Rettenmund, but Matty Alou's throw nailed Crawford at home
- Boog Powell connected for the 4th straight hit against Seaver, scoring Grich for the 2-0 lead
- John Milner, pinch-hitting for Seaver singled to start things off
- After Alou flew out to center, Murcer singled
- Milner took 3rd and Murcer took second on the throw
- Sutton got Thurman Munson to pop up to Cey
- Ron Blomberg grounded out to Lopes to end the threat
Jim Brewer and Bob Reynolds were perfect in relief for the 2-0 win and a 4-0 series sweep.
Don Sutton, with 2 victories was the series MVP
