Rallying for three runs in the seventh inning, the unbeaten Braves posted their seventh straight victory, an 8-5 decision over the Reds. Brett Butler led off the seventh with a walk and, after one out, Rufino Linares singled.

A double by Bob Horner plated Butler to tie the score at 5-5 and an intentional walk to Dale Murphy loaded the bases. After the second out, Bruce Benedict singled to left to score Linares and Horner. The Braves added a run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Chris Chambliss. [The Sporting News]
