Hitting the bullseye with his first major league homer, Vic Correll smashed a grand slam to help seal the Braves' 9-0 victory over the Giants. Phil Niekro held the Giants to four hits and posted his second successive shutout and fourth of the season. In the seventh inning, Dusty Baker beat out an infield hit and raced to third on a throwing error by Mike Phillips. Walks to Mike Lum and Davey Johnson loaded the bases. Leo Foster forced Baker at the plate, but Correll then came through with his slam off Randy Moffitt.
