Hank Aaron hit the 16th grand-slam of his major league career, setting an N. L. record, to feature the Braves' 7-3 victory over the Phillies. The homer was Aaron's 10th of the year and his 723rd in regular season games. It also was his 731st overall, including World Series and All-Star Games, putting him one ahead of Babe Ruth's total.

The Phillies held a 2-1 lead going into the seventh when Craig Robinson singled, took third on an error and scored on a single by Ralph Garr. A walk to Darrell Evans and single by Mike Lum loaded the bases, knocking out Ron Schueler. Aaron then greeted reliever Eddie Watt with his drive over the left field wall. The Braves added another run before the stanza ended on a hit batsman, wild pitch and single by Paul Casanova. [The Sporting News]
