Marty Perez singled with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to drive in the tying run and Jack Clark followed with a sacrifice fly for the winning run as the Giants defeated the Padres, 4-3. Darrell Evans accounted for the Giants' first two tallies with a single in the opening frame.

The Padres scored a run on doubles by Dave Winfield and Mike Ivie in the fourth and moved ahead, 3-2, with singles by Jerry Turner and Fred Kendall and a double by Enzo Hernandez in the seventh. A walk to Gary Alexander, throwing error by Tom Griffin on a bunt by Johnnie LeMaster and intentional pass to Gary Thomasson loaded the bases in the Giants' half and set the stage for their two-run rally.
