The Dodgers extended their winning streak to six games by coming from behind with two runs in fifth inning and four in the seventh to defeat the Padres, 6-3. The Padres took a 3-0 lead before Bill Sudakis doubled to drive in a Dodgers' pair in the fifth.

Then, in the seventh, Willie Crawford walked, took third on a single by Steve Garvey and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Tom Haller. Bobby Valentine singled Garvey to third and moved to second himself on the throw. After an intentional pass to Jim Lefebvre, Garvey scored when Maury Wills grounded into a forceout at second. Don Sutton, running for Valentine, crossed the plate with the last run on a passed ball. [The Sporting News]
