The Braves knocked out Dock Ellis in the first inning, scoring three runs on a single by Ralph Garr, triple by Craig Robinson and Baker's homer. Garr tripled in the second and singled in the third to help the Braves count twice in each stanza. Johnson hit his homer in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
