Dusty Baker hit his fourth homer of the season and added three singles to drive in four runs and lead the Braves to a 7-5 victory over the Padres before the third-ranked crowd in San Diego's six-year major league history, 36,052. Craig Robinson's single, Ralph Garr's triple and the first of Baker's singles made it 2-0 Atlanta in the first. The Padres scored an unearned run in the fifth, but Baker increased the Atlanta lead to 3-1 with a leadoff homer in the sixth.

The Braves scored another run in that same frame on Enzo Hernandez' first error in 23 games and added single tallies in each of the last three innings. Willie McCovey hit his first homer of the season for the Padres, as did Dave Roberts, both with the bases empty. Roberts' blow came in the ninth to cut the final Brave margin to two.
