A double by Ralph Garr in the 11th inning led to the Braves' winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Garr moved to third after Marty Perez flied deep to right field and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly to center by Darrell Evans. The Braves' first two runs in the fifth were unearned on throwing errors by Mike Schmidt and Dick Ruthven. The Phillies tied the score in the seventh with the aid of a tainted tally on a double by Larry Bowa, single by Schmidt and wild throw by Craig Robinson after the shortstop fielded a grounder by Bill Robinson.
