A five-run rally in the eighth inning brought the Padres a 6-5 victory over the Giants. Gary Matthews drove in four runs with a single and homer to pace the Giants to a 5-1 lead before the Padres started their rally by loading the bases on a single by Matty Alou and two walks. Fred Kendall singled, driving in two runs, a single by Dave Winfield with one out scored another run and when Cito Gaston forced Winfield, the tying tally crossed the plate. Bobby Tolan then doubled to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
