Bill Robinson's single in the bottom of the 11th scored Dave Parker from second and enabled the Pirates to down the Padres, 5-4. Parker, pinch-hitting for eventual winning pitcher Sam McDowell, lashed a one-out double to set up the winning marker. After Frank Taveras struck out, Robinson stroked the winning blow.

The Padres rallied to tie the game in the eighth when Dave Winfield doubled in Gene Locklear, who had walked, and Willie McCovey singled to score Winfield. The Pirates had taken a 4-2 lead in the sixth on a single by Taveras, double by Robinson, the second triple of the game by Al Oliver and a single by Willie Stargell. Oliver's first triple set up the Pirates' initial run of the game in the fourth frame and offset McCovey's homer in the top half of that inning. [The Sporting News]
