Scoring two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to overcome a 2-1 Cincinnati lead, the Braves prevailed over the Reds, 3-2. After the Reds took a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth on an RBI pinch-single by Joe Nolan and pinch-sacrifice fly by Larry Biittner, the Braves knotted the count in the bottom of the frame when Claudell Washington and Glenn Hubbard began the inning with back-to-back doubles. Jerry Royster ran for Hubbard and, after an out and an intentional walk to Chris Chambliss, Dale Murphy delivered a single to center to plate Royster.
