Phil Niekro, who had lost four decisions since June 17, returned to the winning column by pitching the Braves to a 7-0 victory over the Cardinals. Ray Bare, righthander from Tulsa (American Association), was the loser in his debut with the Cards. The Braves settled the rookie's fate in the first inning, scoring twice on a triple by Ralph Garr, a wild pitch, single by Craig Robinson, two walks and a sacrifice fly by Dusty Baker. Bare uncorked two more wild pitches in the third when the Braves boosted their lead to 4-0. Davey Johnson iced the verdict by hitting a homer off Rich Folkers with two men on base in the fifth.
