After a single by Jose Arcia in the ninth inning, a wild throw by Ted Simmons on a pickoff attempt and a wild pitch by Steve Carlton enabled the Padres to score the run that beat the Cardinals, 5-4. Two other San Diego runs, one in the first and one in the fourth, also were unearned on a pair of errors by Milt Ramirez. The Padres' other tallies were legitimate, scoring when Mike Corkins singled and Cito Gaston smashed a homer in the third inning. [The Sporting News]
