A two-run homer by Manny Trillo in the bottom of the 13th inning gave the Phillies a 7-5 decision over the Braves. The score was 5-5 when Keith Moreland stroked a one-out single in the 13th. After Garry Maddox flied out, Trillo connected for the circuit.

Tug McGraw pitched four perfect innings to earn the victory. The Phils had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on a throwing error by Atlanta shortstop Rafael Ramirez. [The Sporting News]
