Ending a six-game losing streak, the Braves scored twice in the 10th inning to defeat the Padres, 3-1. The Padres counted their run in the first on singles by Tito Fuentes and Willie Davis and a forceout by Mike Ivie. Jerry Royster singled to drive in the Braves' tying tally in the seventh.

Willie Montanez singled in the 10th and moved up on a sacrifice by Ken Henderson. After an intentional pass to Tom Paciorek, a single by Rod Gilbreath broke the tie. Errors by Hector Torres and Fred Kendall enabled the Braves to add an extra run. [The Sporting News]
