The Braves erupted for three runs in the 11th inning, starting with a homer by Bob Tillman, to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-3, but the Padres came back to take the second game, 7-4, with Earl Wilson receiving credit for his first N. L. victory. Rico Carty batted in two runs with a single when the Braves took a 3-0 lead in the third inning of the lidlifter, but the Padres tied the score in the sixth, two runs scoring on a homer by Cito Gaston. After Tillman broke the deadlock with his circuit clout in the 11th, the Braves went on to add two more runs on a double by Felix Millan, a pass to Ralph Garr, sacrifice by Bob Priddy, safe bunt by Oscar Brown and a double by Mike Lum.

Gaston hit another two-run homer for the Padres in the fifth inning of the nightcap to tie the score at 4-4. Wilson, pitching in relief, then won his own game with a two-run homer in the sixth for his first N. L hit. Hank Aaron drove in two runs for the Braves and moved into seventh place on the all-time RBI list with 1,841. [The Sporting News]
