A Jacket Day crowd of 58,367 -- largest in major leagues this season -- saw the Phillies succumb to the six-hit pitching of Phil Niekro and lose to the Braves, 4-0, snapping their winning streak. A homer by Gary Matthews in the third inning gave the Braves their first two runs. Niekro opened the fifth with a double and Jeff Burroughs and Matthews hit successive two-out triples for the final two tallies.
