Two-hit hurling by Phil Niekro carried the Braves to a 2-0 whitewashing of the Astros. Atlanta scored in the fifth inning when Jeff Burroughs reached first base on an error by Enos Cabell, stole second and came home on a double by Bruce Benedict. Bob Horner drilled a solo homer in the seventh. Astros starter J.R. Richard left the game in the fourth because of an upset stomach. [This would be Richard's final major league appearance].
