With the aid of homers by Ed Spiezio and Nate Colbert, the Padres defeated the Braves, 4-2, to gain their first victory over Pat Jarvis after losing to the righthander three times in 1969 and twice previously this season. Spiezio accounted for the first run in the second inning. The Padres scored twice in the third on singles by Jose Arcia and Dave Campbell, a double by Cito Gaston and infield hit by Ollie Brown. Colbert added his circuit clout in the sixth. Hank Aaron hit his 33rd homer of the season for the Braves. [The Sporting News]
