After being shut out for eight innings, the Braves rallied for two runs in the ninth to defeat the Padres, 2-1. The Braves collected only three hits off Bill Greif until Rico Carty and Darrell Evans singled in the ninth. Mike Corkins, relieving Greif, hit Earl Williams with a pitch to load the bases and Dusty Baker then singled to drive in the tying and winning runs. [The Sporting News]
