| Roger Moret posted his first N. L. victory as the Braves triumphed 3-2 over the Giants, who suffered their 21st loss in 26 games. Moret allowed an unearned run in the first, then blanked the Giants until being lifted in the sixth. Jim Wynn homered to break a 1-1 tie in the third and the Braves took a 3-1 edge in the sixth when Darrell Evans singled and scored on Biff Pocoroba's double. [The Sporting News] |
