The Giants rallied for three runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Padres, 7-6. Nate Colbert smashed two homers, a double and a single in a perfect day at bat for the Padres, who also had a two-run homer by Dave Robinson.

The Giants trailed, 6-4, after McCovey hit for the circuit in the eighth. The Giants loaded the bases in the ninth on an error, a single by Tito Fuentes and pass to McCovey. Ken Henderson singled, driving in two runs to tie the score, and Ron Hunt delivered a pinch-single for the winning run. [The Sporting News]
