Ralph Garr hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career for the Braves' big blow in a 6-1 victory over the Padres. The Braves were losing, 1-0, and had only one hit off Steve Arlin going into the eighth inning when Johnny Oates singled and Darrell Evans and Dusty Baker walked to set the stage for Garr's slam. The Braves added two more runs in the ninth on a single by Sonny Jackson and doubles by Oates and Evans.
