Hitting a homer and double, Rowland Office drove in three of the Braves' runs in a 6-4 victory over the Mets. After Office's RBIs helped the Braves take a 4-2 lead, their deciding pair counted in the eighth inning on a pass to Willie Montanez, double by Gary Matthews, sacrifice fly by Joe Nolan and infield out by Junior Moore. The Mets had a two-run homer by Steve Henderson in the third and added their other pair on doubles by John Milner, Ron Hodges and Lee Mazzilli in the ninth before their rally ended.
