The Braves won the first game of a doubleheader, 3-2, on a run-scoring single by Hank Aaron in the 10th inning, but then succumbed to the three-hit pitching of Al Downing and lost the second game to the Dodgers, 8-3. The Braves forced the lidlifter into overtime when Davey Johnson hit a homer in the ninth inning. Ralph Garr led off the 10th with a single and Marty Perez sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Darrell Evans, Aaron rapped his winning single.
