A two-run homer by Biff Pocoroba highlighted a three-run fourth inning that propelled the Braves to a 5-1 decision over the Phillies. Bob Horner started the flurry with a double and Pocoroba followed with a round-tripper. The third run of the inning came on a single by Dale Murphy and a triple by Rod Gilbreath. The Braves got another pair in the fifth on a bases-loaded walk to Jeff Burroughs and sacrifice fly by Murphy.
