Failing to hold a 5-2 lead, the Dodgers lost to the Braves, 9-6, and missed a chance to close in on the Giants in the West division race. Willie Davis hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers in the first inning, but a round-tripper by Earl Williams and run-scoring single by Marty Perez pulled the Braves even in the second. The Dodgers knocked out Jim Nash in their half of the second and took a 5-2 lead, but the Braves began their comeback with the first of two homers by Darrell Evans in the fourth before tying the score with two runs in the fifth.
