| Hank Aaron smashed a homer after a single by Ralph Garr in the ninth inning to lift the Braves to a 3-1 victory over the Padres behind the three-hit pitching of Ron Reed. Dave Roberts, who was the loser, allowed 10 hits, but until Aaron connected, the Braves' only run was unearned, scoring on an error by Enzo Hernandez in the sixth. Ollie Brown homered for the Padres in the seventh. [The Sporting News] |
