The Braves used a three-run fifth inning, sandwiched between solo homers by Mike Lum and Darrell Evans, who hit a pair, to defeat Montreal, 6-3. Evans hit his seventh round-tripper of the season in the first and added the other in the fourth. Lum connected with the bases empty in the fifth.

In a three-run second, Dusty Baker opened with a walk and stole second. Singles by Lum and Larvell Blanks scored one run. Winning pitcher Phil Niekro bunted safely to load the bases. Loser Steve Renko walked Rod Gilbreath to force in the second run and wild-pitched Blanks home with the third. Montreal scored two unearned runs in the fourth, then got a bases-empty homer from Gary Carter in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
