Led by Rico Carty, who collected four singles in five trips, the Braves defeated the Giants, 10-7, to snap their three-game losing streak. The Braves built up a 6-2 lead at the expense of Juan Marichal before the Giants rallied to tie the score in the fifth inning with the aid of homers by Bobby Bonds and Ken Henderson.

After both clubs picked up singletons in the sixth, the Braves broke away in the eighth. Carty's fourth hit of the game drove in the tie-breaking tally and another scored on a pinch-single by Orlando Cepeda. The last run in the ninth was unearned on an error, two walks and a sacrifice fly by Dusty Baker. [The Sporting News]
