While Ron Reed pitched a three-hitter, the Braves took advantage of three walks and three wild pitches by Steve Renko to score all their runs in the third inning and post a 9-0 victory over the Expos. The Braves also had a single by Sonny Jackson, double by Darrell Evans and single by Marty Perez in their scoring stanza. Renko's three wild pitches in one inning tied the N. L. record.
