For the second night in succession, the Dodgers staged a ninth-inning rally and scored two runs to defeat the Braves, 5-4, giving Mike Marshall his fifth victory in relief in six days. The Dodgers gave Don Sutton a 3-0 lead, scoring one run on a single by Jim Wynn in the first inning and two on a homer by Joe Ferguson in the fourth. Sutton, who had not been a winner since May 14, was removed in the sixth when the Braves loaded the bases on singles by Ralph Garr and Rowland Office and a walk to Darrell Evans. Jim Brewer, taking over, uncorked a wild pitch, allowing a run to score, and Mike Lum followed with a two-run single to tie the game.
