George Foster smashed three homers and Tom Seaver, who pitched a two-hitter, also rapped a round-tripper as the Reds defeated the Braves, 7-1. Foster batted in five runs. Seaver had a no-hitter in the works until Willie Montanez doubled with one out in the seventh inning. Rowland Office led off with a double in the ninth for the Braves' other hit and scored their run on an error by Rick Auerbach.
