Atlanta 3 Montreal 0
Frank Champion used his sizzling fastball to great advantage striking out eight Montreal batters over eight innings allowed two hits and only walked one batter, a recipe for success for the 25 year old right hander.
Champion advanced to 5-4 on the season and Mike Carroll took the loss dropping to 4-3.
Joe Sanders picked up his second save on the campaign with a scorelss ninth inning.
Champion known for his foot heater sometimes has control problems but in this game he had command of his fastball and off speed pitches all through the game making it difficult for Montreal who have gone five and five over their last ten games.
A two run homerun by Jim Lee in the first and a sacrifice fly by the pitcher, Champion in the second produced all the scoring in the game.
In other games Brooklyn won its third straight defeating the Perfectos of St. Louis 6-2.
Los Angeles stayed five out with a 10-9 squeaker over Houston who has now dropped six in a row.
Colorado went into a series with rival Pittsburgh on a two game skid and with manager Don Bailey chirping about lack of concentration on the part of his players.
Thirty-three year old veteran right hander Horacio Escobar from Guadalajara, Mexico got the start for the Mockingbirds.
Pittsburgh tagged him for four runs in the second inning on four hits. Booty singled Red Buhner singled with one out. Ripulski struck out. Catcher Fernando Tappe, who once caught Escobar in the Mexican League, singled to left field driving in two runs and Kevin Friend's two run shot doubled it to 4-0 Pittsburgh.
''Escobar rebounded from that inning well.'' said Bailey. ''He gave us four shutout innings after that on a day when our bullpen was fried.''
Jesus Wagner came in for two innings; one hits 1 strikeout no runs and Alfonso Kim made his first ever relief appearance and gave up three hits and two runs in the 9th but he was working with a 7-4 lead going in.
''It wasn't pretty but he got the job down.'' Bailey said.
Colorado started chipping away at the Pittsburgh lead in the second inning.
Tony Caudill doubled over center fielder Bill Etherton's head and scored on an error two-base throwing by shortstop George Kern to cut it to 4-1.
Tony Shinieke singled to center field to start the third inning and Tom Smalley's two out double chopped another run off making the score 4-2.
Catcher Larry Garrett singled to start the fourth and stole second. Fernando Tappe's throw sailed into center field when no one covered second base and Garrett went over to third base and scored on a ground out by Escobar the pitcher tying the game 4-4.
Tappe contributed two more throwing errors in the three run Colorado eighth inning. Bill Foster walked Bob Lynn leading off and Garrett singled. Tappe threw the ball into center field on a double steal, Lynn scored.
Lance Behan replaced Foster and retired Shwinieke on a fly to center field then walked Jim Stahl. Stahl stole a base as well but easily scored behind Garrett on Walt Johnson's triple.
Alfonso Kim gave up a homerun to Buhner in the ninth and a run scoring single to Tappe but held onto the lead for a 7-6 win.
