Sparked by Orlando Cepeda, who homered to lead off the seventh inning, the Braves scored three runs to defeat the Phillies, 3-2. After Cepeda's clout, Felix Millan walked and Clete Boyer, who bunted, was safe on an error. Bob Didier singled, sending Millan home to tie the score. With two out, Sonny Jackson walked to load the bases and Ralph Garr singled to drive in Boyer. [The Sporting News]
