Dick Ruthven and Ed Farmer combined on a four-hitter as the Phillies shaded the Braves, 2-1. The Braves were hitless until Bob Horner opened the bottom of the eighth with a single. He scored as Glenn Hubbard bounced into a double play. The Phils scored in the second on a single by Gary Matthews and double by Garry Maddox, and in the third frame on Pete Rose's RBI groundout.
