Yielding only three hits, Tom Hume pitched the Reds to a 2-1 verdict over the Braves. The Reds' first run came in the second inning when George Foster singled, moved to second on an infield out and scored on a single by Junior Kennedy. In the fourth, singles by Foster, Dan Driessen and Champ Summers produced the margin of victory. [The Sporting News]
