A run that scored on a balk came back to haunt Phil Niekro, who was handed his third straight defeat when the Padres beat the Braves in 10 innings, 5-4. Dave Campbell was safe on an error in the second inning, raced to third on a single by Ollie Brown and then was waved home when Niekro balked in an attempted pickoff throw to first base.
