The Braves spoiled Bat Night for the crowd of 38,189 San Diego fans by defeating the Padres, 6-4, behind Carl Morton, who became the first pitcher in the N. L. to achieve five victories this season. Randy Jones, who started for the Padres, had his string of 26 scoreless innings snapped when Earl Williams walked and Dusty Baker homered in the second. Darrell Evans added to the Braves' total with a run-scoring single in the third.

An error by Mike Ivie led to two unearned runs in the fourth before the Braves wound up their scoring with singles by Ralph Garr and Evans around an infield out in the ninth. Dave Winfield homered for the Padres, who succeeded in chasing Morton when Enzo Hernandez doubled in the ninth, but Tom House relieved and retired the next three straight batters.
