Jim McGlothlin stopped the Braves on five hits and halted Rico Carty's 31-game batting streak while pitching the Reds to a 2-0 victory. Carty was collared in four trips, but was deprived of a hit in the eighth inning when McGlothlin deflected his line drive to Tommy Helms, who threw Carty out at first.

Hank Aaron lashed two doubles for the Braves to bring his career hit total to 2,999. McGlothlin scored the only run that the righthander needed, hitting a double in the fifth inning and crossing the plate on a single by Tony Perez. Lee May, however, added a cushion with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
