Hank Aaron's RBI single and Dusty Baker's sacrifice fly in the ninth boosted the Braves to a 9-7 decision over the Padres, who had battled back to tie the game at 7-7 after trailing at one point, 7-2. The Braves snapped a 2-2 tie with a five-run fifth inning, helped by four walks and an infield error.
