The Braves, after absorbing a 6-5 defeat in the first game of a doubleheader, committed an Atlanta club record of seven errors in the second game and lost again to the Phillies, 5-1. With Davey Johnson hitting a three-run homer, the Braves held a 4-2 lead in the opener before the Phillies tied the score in the seventh on a homer by Bill Robinson, double by Terry Harmon and single by Willie Montanez. Bob Boone singled in the eighth and stopped at third on a double by Del Unser. Boone scored on a sacrifice fly by Tommy Hutton and Unser raced home with what proved to be the winning run on a wild pitch by Max Leon. Darrell Evans homered for the Braves in the ninth.

All five of the Phillies' runs off Carl Morton in the nightcap were unearned. [The Sporting News]
