The Dodgers went down to defeat at the hands of Phil Niekro for the third straight time this season when the knuckleballer pitched the Braves to a 3-1 victory. The Braves scored two of their runs in the third inning on a double by Marty Perez, error by Dick Allen on a bunt by Niekro, single by Felix Millan and sacrifice fly by Ralph Garr. Their other tally in the seventh counted on singles by Mike Lum and Earl Williams and a squeeze bunt by Perez.
