An infield hit by Mike Lum with the bases loaded in the ninth inning scored Felix Millan and gave the Braves a 3-2 victory over the Padres. Ed Spiezio homered for the Padres, who tied the game at 2-2 in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Chris Cannizzaro with the bases loaded.

In the Braves' half, Millan singled, Ralph Garr walked and both runners moved up on a wild pickoff throw. After an intentional pass to Clete Boyer loaded the bases, Lum grounded into the hole where Spiezio cut off the ball, but the third baseman was unable to make a play and the Braves' winning run scored.
