A three-run homer by Dave May in the first inning opened the Braves' attack in a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals. After the Braves added a tally in the third, Vic Correll homered in the fourth. Phil Niekro followed with the first triple of his major league career and scored on a single by Rowland Office. Willie Davis and Reggie Smith hit homers for the Cardinals, who wasted many of their scoring opportunities, leaving 14 men on base. [The Sporting News]
