After staving off a rally by the Dodgers in the ninth inning, the Braves erupted for three runs in the 10th to gain a 7-4 victory, handing the Dodgers their fifth straight defeat. Jeff Burroughs hit two homers and Bob Horner one to help the Braves take a 4-2 lead before the Dodgers tied the score in the ninth. However, with the bases loaded and one out, two pinch-hitters, Manny Mota and Joe Ferguson, both struck out.

The Braves began the 10th with a double by Barry Bonnell. After Horner struck out, Burroughs was passed intentionally. Charlie Spikes then batted for Joe Nolan and singled to drive in the tie-breaking tally. Glenn Hubbard followed with a single, scoring Burroughs. Spikes was thrown out trying to take third, but winning reliever Gene Garber followed with a single to send Hubbard home with the final run. [The Sporting News]
