Davey Johnson, who doubled to drive in the Braves' first run in the second inning, added two more tallies with a single in the eighth to beat the Phillies, 6-5. The Phillies knocked out Joe Niekro in the first, scoring three runs on a combination of singles by Mike Schmidt and Ollie Brown, doubles by Larry Bowa and Del Unser and a passed ball. After Dusty Baker walked and counted on Johnson's double in the second, the Phillies matched with a run in their half on a triple by Dave Cash and error by Ralph Garr.

The Braves rallied to tie the score with three runs in the fourth, but the Phillies regained the lead again in the sixth when Mike Schmidt walked and Willie Montanez doubled. In the eighth, Darrell Evans walked and Baker singled, sending Evans to third. Baker moved to second on the throw. The Phillies removed Steve Carlton and brought in Gene Garber, who issued an intentional pass to Mike Lum to load the bases before Johnson rapped his single. [The Sporting News]
