The Braves' modern record of 13 straight victories at the start of a season was snapped by the Reds, 2-1. Bruce Berenyi, who combined with Tom Hume on a six-hitter, also drove in the winning run in Cincinnati's two-run fifth inning. Atlanta starter Bob Walk, who retired the first 13 men he faced, was touched for consecutive singles by Larry Biittner, Paul Householder and Wayne Krenchicki before Berenyi's two-out single to center broke a 1-1 deadlock.

Hume replaced Berenyi and escaped a bases-loaded one-out jam in the seventh, stopping the Braves seven wins shy of the all-time record from the start which was set by St. Louis of the Union Association in 1884. Atlanta's last gasp came in the ninth inning when Brett Butler, trying to prolong the streak, singled with two out, but Glenn Hubbard flied out to right to end the game. The crowd gave the Braves a standing ovation. [The Sporting News]
