A homer by Dave Winfield and bases-loaded single by Jerry Turner in a 12th-inning rally brought the Padres a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Gary Matthews and Vic Correll hit back-to-back homers for the Braves to tie the score at 4-4 in the eighth.

Junior Moore, leading off in the 12th, rapped his first major league homer to put the Braves ahead, but that lead was shortlived. After Winfield's wallop tied the score, Mike Ivie and Doug Rader singled, Gene Tenace walked to load the bases and Turner drove in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
