With two out in ninth inning, the Padres rallied for a run to beat the Braves, 6-5. Hank Aaron hit two doubles, reaching the 1,200 mark in extra-base hits, and Rico Carty cracked a homer to help the Braves take 4-1 lead, but the Padres exploded for four runs in the sixth.

Cito Gaston connected for the circuit with two men on base and Ollie Brown added a solo swat to send the Padres ahead, 5-4. A double by Mike Lum led to the tying tally for the Braves in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Al Ferrera doubled with two out for the Padres in the ninth, halted at third on a single by Dave Campbell and scored the winning run on a single by Steve Huntz. [The Sporting News]
