Nate Colbert doubled in the 17th inning and scored on a single by Jerry Morales to give the Padres a 4-3 victory over the Reds. Darrel Chaney kept the Padres from winning in regulation distance by hitting a homer to tie the score in the ninth. After the Padres scored in the 17th, Chaney and Julian Javier singled with two out in the Reds' half, but Mark Schaeffer took over as the Padres' fifth pitcher and saved the game by retiring Pete Rose.
