Dave Roberts ended his personal 10-game losing streak when the Padres edged the Braves, 3-2. Bob Didier singled and Oscar Brown hit his first major league homer for the Braves' runs in the third inning.

The Padres rallied in the fifth after Dave Campbell walked with two out. Singles by Steve Huntz and Ollie Brown scored Campbell. Al Ferrara followed with a double to drive in the tying and winning runs. Roberts needed help from Gary Ross, who relieved with two out in the eighth and retired Rico Carty with two men on base for the Braves. [The Sporting News]
