Six walks in the ninth inning enabled the Braves to score five runs on two hits to defeat the Phillies, 6-5. With the Phillies leading, 5-1, Gene Garber gave up a single by Tom Paciorek to open the ninth and passed Cito Gaston and Rowland Office to load the bases. Tug McGraw relieved and his control was worse.
