Braves 2, Dodgers 1  (38-29)

Bob Buhl threw a gem of a game as he ended up on the better of a 2-1 pitcher’s duel with Dodgers starter Don Drysdale.  Buhl gave up one run on four hits and six walks with six strikeouts in the complete game.  The win pushed his record to 9-2 on the season.

Hank Aaron had the big hit of the game.  His two run triple in the eighth inning broke a score less tie and the Braves turned out to need both of those runs.  Frank Torre was the only Braves hitter with two hits in the game.
