Led by Steve Huntz, who hit a homer, double and single and walked twice, the Padres won the opener of a doubleheader, 11-4, but the Cubs came back to take the nightcap, 8-7, scoring their deciding run on a homer by Glenn Beckert in the eighth inning. Huntz walked and scored in the first inning of the lidlifter and followed with a two-run homer in second after an RBI single by Ed Spiezio. Jim Hickman hit a three-run homer in the third for the Cubs, who tied the score in the fourth on a walk by Jack Hiatt and triple by Don Kessinger, but the Padres went ahead to stay with a run in the fifth on a double by Huntz, single by Cito Gaston and sacrifice fly by Al Ferrara.

The Cubs fell behind again, 4-0, in the nightcap, but doubles by Joe Decker and Kessinger, a single by Beckert and a homer by Ernie Banks produced the runs to tie the score. Billy Williams doubled and Banks singled for the go-ahead tally in the fifth. Then, with the bases loaded, Phil Gagliano delivered a pinch-single to drive in two runs. The Padres rallied to tie the score in the seventh before Beckert hit his homer. [The Sporting News]
