A homer by Rowland Office with two men on base in the sixth inning lifted the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers. Both Dodger runs off Rick Camp were unearned on an error by Pat Rockett in the third.

Camp helped overcome that deficit by drawing a pass from Burt Hooton in the sixth. Rod Gilbreath then singled and Office followed with his homer. The Braves went on to add an insurance run on singles by Gary Matthews and Bob Horner around a pair of outs. [The Sporting News]
