Picking up where he left off in the All-Star Game, Bobby Bonds batted in five runs with two homers to pace the Giants to a 10-2 and 6-5 sweep of a doubleheader with the Padres. The second game went 10 innings. In the opener, Nate Colbert homered to give the Padres a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning, but in the Giants' half Ed Goodson tied the score with a round-tripper. Then Dave Rader walked, Ron Bryant singled and Bonds sent the Giants on their way to victory with a three-run blast.

Bonds homered again with a man on base in the nightcap to help the Giants take a 5-3 lead, but an error by Garry Maddox enabled the Padres to tie the score with two unearned runs in the eighth inning. In the 10th, Chris Speier was safe on an error and Goodson singled. The Padres then passed Bonds intentionally in a move that failed when Tito Fuentes singled for his sixth hit of the doubleheader to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
