Dodgers 3, Braves 2  (74-46)

Outside of Hank Aaron, the Braves lineup was shut down by Dodgers starter Don Drysdale.  Of the five hits, Aaron had two of them and he also drove in both Braves runs.  He also belted homerun number 36 on the season.

A pretty good start by Gene Conley went to waste.  He gave up two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in eight solid frames.  Don McMahon gave up a run in the ninth inning and he fell to 0-2 on the season.
