A triple by Gil Garrido and single by Rico Carty in the eighth inning produced the Braves' tie-breaking run in a 6-5 victory over the Expos. Jim Gosger hit his first N. L. homer to help the Expos to a 4-0 lead before the Braves began their comeback with a two-run smash by Jim Nash in the sixth.

The Expos added a tally in their half, but the Braves tied the score in the seventh when Hank Aaron, Orlando Cepeda and Tony Gonzalez singled and Mike Lum hit a pinch-double. [The Sporting News]
