. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Buzz Capra worked 7 1/3 innings in his longest outing since 1975, but after his departure, the Braves wound up on the ropes and barely survived to gain a 4-3 victory over the Reds. The Braves were forced to use three relief pitchers, starting with Jamie Easterly in the eighth.

Dave Campbell took over in the ninth and gave up a two-out homer by Mike Lum. When Champ Summers followed with a single, Rick Camp took over. The Reds proceeded to load the bases with a walk to Ken Griffey and infield hit by Pete Rose, but Dave Concepcion lined to Willie Montanez to end the game. [The Sporting News]
