Mike Marshall, pitching 3 1/3 innings, gained his 13th victory, all in relief, when Bob Bailey drove in a run with the bases loaded and two out in the 11th to defeat the Braves, 4-3. Ken Singleton, who had homered earlier in the game, walked to lead off the 11th and Ron Fairly sacrificed.

A single by John Boccabella and intentional pass to Mike Jorgensen filled the sacks. Joe Hoerner relieved Pat Jarvis and struck out Clyde Mashore. Cecil Upshaw then took over and, with a 3-and-2 count, Bailey hit a soft tap down the third base line and beat it out for a hit. [The Sporting News]
