A double by Darrell Evans for the only extra-base hit of the game drove in Ralph Garr in the 10th inning and gave the Braves a 3-2 victory over the Cubs. The Braves bunched singles by Davey Johnson, Frank Tepedino and Roric Harrison for a run in the second and added another on two walks, a single by Dusty Baker and throwing error by Steve Swisher in the third.

The Cubs pulled even in the seventh when Bill Madlock and Andre Thornton singled and Vic Harris walked to load the bases, leading to the exit of Harrison. Joe Niekro, taking over, was tagged for a single by Jose Cardenal, driving in the tying pair. However, the Braves prevailed in the 10th when Garr singled, Craig Robinson sacrificed and Evans hit his double. [The Sporting News]
