Although Mike Lum, Dusty Baker and Davey Johnson hit homers in the fourth inning, the Braves still had to come from behind to defeat the Padres, 5-4. After the Braves' show of power, the Padres donned their slugging togs with a pinch-homer by Dave Winfield in the fifth and three-run blast by Gene Locklear in the sixth. The Braves tied the score in their half of the sixth when Baker walked with the bases loaded.

With one out in the ninth, Dick Dietz walked. Roric Harrison came in to run and took third on a single by Ralph Garr. After Hank Aaron drew an intentional pass, manager Eddie Mathews substituted pinch-runner for pinch-runner, sending Chuck Goggin to take Harrison's place. Goggin then scored the winning run on a single by Darrell Evans. [The Sporting News]
