The Braves overcame a 6-1 deficit to down the Cubs, 9-7, as Chris Chambliss led the way with a homer and four RBIs. The Braves tied the game with five runs in the fifth inning on a three-run homer by Chambliss and run-scoring two-baggers by Dale Murphy and Bruce Benedict. Atlanta went ahead in the sixth on a run-scoring groundout by Chambliss and added two more tallies in the seventh on singles by Glenn Hubbard and Rafael Ramirez and a pinch-double by Jerry Royster.
