Staging a dramatic rally in the ninth inning, the Padres came up with three consecutive homers before adding another run to defeat the Phillies, 5-4. Dick Ruthven, pitching for the Phillies with a 4-1 lead, gave up homers by Nate Colbert and Willie McCovey in the ninth before being removed. Dave Winfield greeted the arrival of Jesus Hernaiz with a circuit clout to tie the score. Fred Kendall kept the rally going with a single and when Dave Roberts bunted, both runners were safe on an error by Hernaiz.

Rod Gaspar, running for Kendall, was picked off second and Enzo Hernandez flied out but Glenn Beckert singled, sending Roberts to third. Bobby Tolan then singled after Pete Richert relieved to drive in the Padres' winning run. The victory was the Padres' 22nd against seven defeats in games decided by one run. [The Sporting News]
