Braves 4, Phillies 2  (50-37)

The Braves won their 50th game and for Bob Buhl it was his first win in a while.  He improved to 10-6 and he gave up two runs on ten hits and seven walks with two strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings.  Don McMahon got the final out of the game via strikeout and he saved his fourth game of the season.

Del Rice was the hitting star. He went two for three with a homerun and three RBIs.  Joe Torre singled, tripled and scored twice in the win.
