Pat Jarvis, who had been one of the Braves' disappointments this season, pitched a three-hitter and defeated the Astros, 7-0. The victory was only the fifth for Jarvis, who won 16 games last year.

Earl Williams and Tommie Aaron each batted in two runs. Hank Aaron extended his batting streak to 21 games with a single in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
