Phil Niekro helped himself to his 10th victory by beating out an infield hit in the fifth inning when the Braves scored twice to defeat the Dodgers, 3-1. After reaching second on his hit and a throwing error by Maury Wills on the play, Niekro scored on a single by Ralph Garr to snap a 1-1 tie. Garr stole second, advanced to third on a wild throw by Tom Haller and counted an insurance run on a sacrifice fly by Hank Aaron.
