Carl Morton pitched a three-hitter and Dave May smashed a grand-slam homer to provide the Braves with a 5-1 victory over the Reds. A single by Ralph Garr, double by Mike Lum and intentional pass to Dusty Baker preceded May's drive that ended Gary Nolan's personal six-game winning streak. Darrell Evans homered off reliever Fred Norman for another run in the eighth.

Morton held the Reds hitless until Joe Morgan doubled in the seventh. Morgan added a single in the ninth and scored the Reds' run on a double by Johnny Bench. [The Sporting News]
