Supported by five double plays, Tom Carroll and Will McEnaney combined to pitch the Reds to a 2-0 victory over the Braves. Carroll gave up only three hits and walked four in the first eight innings. The Reds executed double plays in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. After Carroll issued his fourth pass of the game to open the ninth, McEnaney took over and the Reds pulled off their fifth twin-killing.

The Reds scored their first run in the sixth on a double by Pete Rose, bunt by Ken Griffey and sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. Their other tally did not come until the ninth when Dave Concepcion hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
