The Braves jumped on starter and loser Harry Parker for five runs in the first two innings and went on to beat the Mets behind a solid four-hit effort by Phil Niekro, 8-1. Niekro allowed only two hits over the final eight innings. Darrell Evans gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead with his sixth homer in the first. The Mets tied the score in the same inning on Wayne Garrett's single and stolen base, plus a double by Rusty Staub.
