The Braves scored three runs in the fourth inning and went on to defeat the Mets, 4-2, with Phil Niekro and Mike Marshall collaborating on a six-hitter. The Braves filled the bases in the fourth on Willie Montanez' single, Ken Henderson's double and an intentional walk to Darrel Chaney. Rod Gilbreath's sacrifice fly, Mike Vail's throwing error and Niekro's single produced three runs.
