Although pitching a two-hitter, Randy Jones appeared stymied in a bid for his 19th victory until the Padres scored two unearned runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Braves, 2-1. Larvell Blanks and Ralph Garr singled in the seventh inning for the only hits off Jones. After a pass to Marty Perez, Earl Williams lofted a sacrifice fly to produce the Braves' run.

The Padres then posted their pair without the benefit of a hit in the eighth. Hector Torres was safe on an error by Rob Belloir and Bobby Tolan sacrificed. Willie McCovey grounded out. With Dave Winfield at bat, Torres reached third on a passed ball. Winfield walked and stole second. Gene Locklear, batting for Dave Roberts, hit a grounder to Perez, who let the ball squirt through his legs, allowing both Torres and Winfield to score. [The Sporting News]
