Rewarding the superb pitching of Dave Freisleben, the Padres scored in the 10th inning on a two-out double by Bill Almon and defeated the Dodgers, 2-1. Freisleben allowed only two hits, with the Dodgers' run coming on a homer by John Hale in the eighth, before Rollie Fingers took over and retired the Dodgers in the 10th to earn his 18th save.

Don Sutton also turned in a fine pitching performance for the Dodgers, striking out 12 for his career high and allowing five hits in the first nine innings. Dave Winfield homered off Sutton in the fourth. With Charlie Hough on the mound in the 10th, George Hendrick drew a walk, stole second and scored the winning run on Almon's double.
