Dave May's two-run pinch-homer in the bottom of the ninth lifted the Braves over the Phillies, 6-4. The Phils, who fell out of a tie for first place in the N. L. East, led 4-0 after 2½ innings. Greg Luzinski doubled home Jay Johnstone in the first and the losers got three in the top of the third on Johnstone's RBI single and a two-run double by Garry Maddox.
