Fred Kendall batted in three runs in support of Sonny Siebert, who also helped himself with a run-scoring double, as the Padres defeated the Braves, 5-3. The Padres broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning after Mike Ivie and Tito Fuentes singled. Kendall sent them home with a double and then scored himself on Siebert's two-bagger.

Siebert needed relief from Bill Greif in the eighth when the Braves counted on singles by Dusty Baker, Mike Lum and Larvell Blanks, but the Padres added an insurance tally in their half on singles by Ivie and Fuentes and a grounder by Kendall that scored pinch-runner John Scott.
