Homers by Mike Lum and Felix Millan, plus a pair of run-scoring singles by Earl Williams, carried the Braves to a 5-2 victory over the Padres. Lum connected for the circuit after a single by Darrell Evans in the second inning. Leron Lee tied the score with a two-run shot for the Padres in the fourth. Millan's homer in the fifth broke the tie.

The Braves added a run in that same stanza on a single by Ralph Garr, a stolen base and single by Williams. The same combination -- single by Garr, stolen base and single by Williams -- wrapped up the scoring in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
