Mike Lum and Davey Johnson batted in two runs apiece to lead the Braves to a 5-3 victory over the Padres, who suffered their ninth straight defeat. Two walks and singles by Lum and Johnson accounted for two runs in the first inning. Passes then helped the Padres take the lead in the fourth. After Lew Krausse issued three walks to load the bases, Dave Winfield drove in two runs with a single and another run followed when Lum threw wildly after catching a line drive by Bill Almon.

The Braves came back with three runs in the seventh. Darrell Evans walked and Dusty Baker was safe on an error by Willie McCovey. Lum and Johnson then drove in runs with singles. Max Leon, who was the winner in relief of Krausse, added an insurance marker with another single. [The Sporting News]
