Pat Jarvis pitched a three-hitter and Rico Carty extended his batting streak to 22 games with a single, double and homer as the Braves defeated the Cubs, 4-2. Felix Millan also homered for the Braves and Billy Williams hit safely in his 16th straight game, rapping a double in the first inning.

Ron Santo drove in both of the Cubs' runs with a double in the second and homer in the ninth. Losing pitcher Ken Holtzman and Manager Leo Durocher of the Cubs were ejected from the game in the sixth as result of fiery arguments with umpires over two pitches thrown to Jarvis. Both were called balls. [The Sporting News]
