A three-run homer by Dale Murphy keyed a four-run first inning that propelled the Braves to a 7-3 victory over the Mets. Murphy's blast followed a walk to Claudell Washington, single by Rafael Ramirez and RBI single by Rufino Linares. Mets starter Randy Jones failed to retire any of the six batters he faced. The Braves added two runs in the third on run-scoring groundouts by Ken Dayley and Ramirez. [The Sporting News]
