Phil Niekro drove in his own winning run with a double in the seventh inning but then needed relief help in the ninth before the Braves defeated the Phillies, 2-1. Singles by Willie Montanez, Cito Gaston and Dave May produced the Braves' first run in the fifth. Vic Correll tripled with two out in the seventh and scored on Niekro's double.
