The Braves bunched four singles with a walk for three runs in the second inning and defeated the Phillies, 5-3. Dale Murphy, leading off the stanza, beat out a chopper to Mike Schmidt and continued to second on the third baseman's wild throw. Barry Bonnell singled, scoring Murphy.

After a two-out walk to Darrel Chaney, successive singles by Jerry Royster and Brian Asselstine added two runs. Jeff Burroughs homered in the fifth. Garry Maddox scored for the Phillies in the second and drove in two runs with a single in the ninth before the Phillies' rally died. [The Sporting News]
