A two-run homer by Johnny Grubb proved the Padres' deciding blow in a 4-2 victory over the Braves. Grubb singled and scored in the third before hitting his homer after a double by Jerry Johnson in the fifth. The Braves came back with a pair in the seventh on a homer by Dave May, pass to Larvell Blanks, single by Rod Gilbreath and sacrifice fly by Mike Lum, but the Padres clinched their victory with another run in the eighth on a double by Bobby Tolan and single by Gene Locklear.
