Henry had this picture turned around some how...but that didn't affect his play in the Braves 2-1 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers and their dandy Don Drysdale. In the first inning, Henry took Don for a ride over the left center field fence for an early 1-nil Brave lead. The Brooks tied it in the top of the 4th on Sandy Amoros' double. Clem Labine relieved Drysdale in the 8th inning and Bad Henry whacked him deep to center field and a 2-1 lead. Gene Conley made that hold up as he pitched a fine 4 hitter with 8 strikeouts to go with his route job. Braves hold a game and a half lead over second place Philadelphia. The Braves are 18-7, while the Phils dropped their game to the Redlegs and fall to 17-9.
