Carl Morton yielded a run in the first inning but then shut out the Padres the rest of the way while pitching the Braves to a 5-1 victory. The Padres' tally counted on a double by Johnny Grubb, a sacrifice and infield out.

Dave May tied the score with a homer in the fourth. The Braves then took the lead with singles by Rowland Office and Darrell Evans around a sacrifice in the sixth before clinching the verdict with three runs in the eighth on a homer by Evans, single by Earl Williams, double by Dusty Baker and single by Mike Lum.
