A wild pitch by Elias Sosa in the 14th inning enabled Felix Millan to score the run that gave the Mets a 7-6 victory over the Braves. Joe Torre, hitting safely in his 15th straight game, had a triple, double and two singles in six trips and drove in three runs. The Braves erupted for five runs in the fifth with the aid of a triple by Ralph Garr and added their other run on a homer by Rod Gilbreath in the sixth.

The Mets, who were losing, 6-5, tied the score in the seventh with a single by Del Unser, sacrifice by Millan and single by Torre. In the 14th, Millan singled. Torre followed with a fly ball that center fielder Cito Gaston dropped for an error, putting runners on second and third. The Braves then walked Rusty Staub intentionally to load the bases before Sosa uncorked his wild pitch with Gene Clines at bat. [The Sporting News]
