Phil Niekro, who gave up 11 hits and walked four, put men on base in every inning except one, but the Braves' veteran knuckleballer was able to beat the Mets, 4-1. The Mets' only run came on a pass to John Stearns, double by Lee Mazzilli and sacrifice fly by Felix Millan in the eighth inning. Biff Pocoroba hit a two-run homer for the Braves in the second, scoring behind Rowland Office, who singled.
