The Padres scored five runs in the first inning and proceeded to beat the Cardinals, 6-2, to complete a sweep of the three-game series. Gene Richards singled, Gene Tenace walked and Mike Ivie and Dave Winfield singled for the first two tallies. After a pass to Bill Almon, Mike Champion drove in a pair with a triple and scored himself on a safe bunt by Bob Davis. Winfield homered in the third to wrap up the Padres' scoring.
