In a game of personal achievements, the Padres rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Reds, 8-7. Leron Lee became the first Padre in the expansion club's history to collect five hits in one game. Garry Jestadt had a 4-for-4 for the first time in his major league career and Mike Caldwell, rookie from Tri-City (Northwest), received credit for his first major league victory.

In the ninth, Cito Gaston singled, Nate Colbert beat out a bunt and Lee doubled to drive in the tying run. After a pass to Ollie Brown, Jestadt singled to plate the winning run. [The Sporting News]
