In Atlanta, Keith Lockhart bangs a pinch grand slam as the Braves overcome a five-run deficit to beat the Phillies, 6 – 5. Phils starter Scott Ruffcorn does not give up a hit in 5 1/3 innings, but exits after walking four batters, hitting two, and tossing two wild pitches. Ron Blazier relieves with two on and a 5 – 0 lead, but gives up an RBI single and Lockhart’s slam. Fred McGriff’s tie-breaking triple in the 7th pins the loss on Billy Brewer.
