Max Leon, a last-minute substitute starter for injured Ron Reed, tossed a six-hitter at the Pirates while the Braves were scoring four unearned runs in the fourth on the way to a 5-0 victory, only the second defeat in the last 17 home games for Pittsburgh. Craig Robinson opened the decisive fourth for the Braves with a single. Hank Aaron grounded to third, but Richie Hebner's throw to second got past Rennie Stennett, Robinson scoring and Aaron moving to third.
