Johnny Grubb, making only his second start in the Padres' outfield after being sidelined by an injury for nearly one month, knocked in three runs, capping his big day with a double in the ninth inning that defeated the Cardinals, 5-4. The Padres had a homer by Willie McCovey and two-run single by Grubb, while the Cardinals countered with a homer by Hector Cruz and two-run single by Lou Brock. Brock's hit tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth, but pinch-hitter Gene Locklear singled for the Padres in the ninth and scored the winning run on Grubb's double.
