A two-run homer by Darrell Evans in the ninth inning for his third hit of the game carried the Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Padres. Evans singled to drive in the Braves' initial run in the first. The Padres tied the score with a triple by Bobby Tolan and single by Willie McCovey in the third and went ahead with consecutive homers by Dave Winfield and Mike Ivie in the fourth. Marty Perez walked, Evans singled and Mike Lum doubled for an Atlanta run in the fifth before the Braves won the game when Perez doubled and Evans hit his homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
