After a clutch relief performance by Bob Miller, the Padres scored in the ninth inning on a single by Nate Colbert and double by Ollie Brown to defeat the Cardinals, 3-2. Colbert homered with a man on base for the Padres' first two runs in the fourth. Joe Torre drove in the Cardinals' counters with a homer and double.

In the ninth, after Lou Brock singled and Matty Alou bunted safely with one out, Miller replaced Fred Norman and quelled the Cards' threat, getting Joe Hague on an infield grounder, passing Torre intentionally and striking out Jose Cardenal on three pitches. [The Sporting News]
