After scoring nine runs in the eighth inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 12-8, the Braves completed the sweep by defeating the Padres in the second game, 4-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Roric Harrison, who made his first start of the season. Dusty Baker had four hits for the Braves in the lidlifter, including two run-scoring singles in the eighth as 11 men went to the plate. Rowland Office, who ran for Earl Williams during the inning, later came up for a turn at bat and tripled with the bases loaded. The Padres fell short with a five-run rally in their half of the eighth that included Johnny Grubb's fourth hit of the game.

In the nightcap, the Braves scored two runs in the first inning when Ralph Garr was safe on an error, Marty Perez tripled and Williams singled. Harrison was hit on the helmet by a pitch in the ninth but remained in the game. A single by Garr, safe squeeze bunt by Perez and sacrifice fly by Williams then produced two runs.
