Scattering six hits, Phil Niekro pitched the Braves to an 8-2 victory over the Cubs as Jeff Burroughs drove in three runs. The Braves scored six runs in the fifth inning, two coming home on a bases-loaded single by Rowland Office, two more on another bases-loaded single by Burroughs. The final pair of the outburst counted on an error by Larry Biittner and a wild pitch by Dick Tidrow. Burroughs connected for a solo homer in the ninth.
