Ending a magnificent duel, the Padres scored in the 14th inning to gain a 1-0 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader for a split with the Reds, who won the opener, 7-2. Dick Baney, pitching in relief of Fred Norman, picked up his first victory of the season in the lidlifter. The Reds wiped out a 2-1 deficit with two runs in the sixth inning on doubles by Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez before icing the verdict with three more runs in the eighth and one in the ninth.

In the nightcap, Dave Freisleben pitched 13 innings for the Padres and then yielded the mound to Rusty Gerhardt, who gained his first major league victory. Clay Kirby, Clay Carroll and Pedro Borbon toiled for the Reds. In the 14th, with Borbon on the mound, Nate Colbert doubled and Dave Winfield was passed purposely. After Cito Gaston grounded out to advance the runners, an intentional pass to Dave Roberts loaded the bases. Fred Kendall then broke up the marathon contest with a sacrifice fly.
