Righthander Joe McIntosh allowed five hits in 8 2/3 innings to gain his second major league victory and Mike Ivie drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single to lead the Padres to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Ivie's blow that snapped a 1-1 tie came after a single by Johnny Grubb and walk to Dave Winfield.

The Padres' other runs came in the second on Tito Fuentes' sacrifice fly following singles by Winfield and Ivie, and in the ninth on a homer by Winfield. The Braves' lone score came in the fifth and resulted from Willie McCovey's error on a ground ball. [The Sporting News]
