Mike Phillips, filling in at shortstop for Chris Speier, hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to carry the Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Padres. The Giants scored in the first on a double by Bobby Bonds, bunt by Tito Fuentes and sacrifice fly by Garry Maddox, but the Padres took a 2-1 lead with successive homers by Nate Colbert and Willie McCovey in the fourth.

Maddox started the Giants' eighth with a single, but was thrown out trying to steal second. Ed Goodson grounded out, but Gary Matthews kept the inning going by drawing a walk and Steve Ontiveros hit a ground-rule double before Phillips came up and whacked his homer at the expense of Steve Arlin.
