Pirates Lose Late, 6-4
Leon Durham was a major factor in the 6-4 Atlanta win over Pittsburgh. The Braves right fielder was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Atlanta now has a record of 50-45 with the win.

Atlanta used a clutch hit from Bobby Murcer to get the win. The center fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Braves ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

Murcer told a Atlanta Citizen reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
