Jerry Turner, Padres' rookie outfielder, collected three hits in three official trips and drove in four runs, the last two coming on his first major league homer in the eighth inning, to beat the Braves, 9-7, in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader. However, the Braves came back to win the nightcap, 7-3, with the aid of three RBIs by Earl Williams. In the lidlifter, Willie McCovey drove in three runs and Turner batted in two with a double to stake the Padres to a 7-1 lead before the Braves knocked out Randy Jones and tied the score in the eighth. After three hits, a walk and a hit batsman produced the Braves' first three runs in the outburst, Butch Metzger replaced Jones and, on his first pitch, Ken Henderson hammered a three-run homer to tie the score. However, in the Padres' half, with Mike Marshall on the mound for the Braves, Johnny Grubb walked and Turner hit his maiden homer.
