Coming from behind in the late innings, the Braves dealt a staggering blow to San Francisco's pennant hopes by edging the sagging Giants, 6-5. The score was 5-5 going into the bottom of the eighth inning when Dale Murphy drew a leadoff walk. Two outs later, after a walk to pinch-hitter Jerry Royster, Murphy scored on a single by Glenn Hubbard. The Braves had tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single by Bob Beall and two-run single by Gary Matthews.
