Morton finally breaks slump with win for Braves over Expos
In a 7 1 victory over Montreal Carl Morton earned his first win of 1976 after eight straight losses dating back to 1975. He said he felt relief seeing Rob Beloir make the final out as Morton admitted the year had been tough and self pressure had affected his pitching. Ken Henderson drove in four runs for Atlanta. Elsewhere in the National League, the Phillies blanked the Pirates 3 0, the Cubs beat the Cardinals 8 4, and the Padres edged the Dodgers 5 4 in 11 innings with Willie Davis delivering a go ahead sacrifice fly.
