Veteran reliever Jack Baldschun, making his second appearance since being obtained from Salt Lake City (Pacific Coast), gained his first victory in a Padres' uniform when Ivan Murrell drove in a run with a single in the 10th inning to beat the Mets, 5-4.

Ed Spiezio hit a two-run homer for the Padres to tie the score at 3-3 in the seventh inning. The Mets went ahead again in the ninth, but Nate Colbert connected for the circuit in the Padres' half to forge a new deadlock. Spiezio followed with a single, knocking out Tom Seaver for the first time since May 6. Nolan Ryan, in relief, was the loser in the 10th with two out when Al Ferrara was hit by a pitch, Colbert walked and Murrell singled. [The Sporting News]
