With their backs to the wall, the Padres rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Expos, 5-4. The Padres started their rally when Johnny Jeter and Enzo Hernandez singled and Curt Blefary walked to load the bases.

Mike Marshall, relieving Bill Stoneman, was greeted with a two-run single by Derrel Thomas and when Ron Woods threw wildly from center field, a third run crossed the plate. Dave Roberts singled, sending Thomas to third. After Jerry Morales popped up, Nate Colbert hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
