Ninth-inning rallies carried the Padres to 7-5 and 5-4 victories in a surprise sweep of a doubleheader with the Dodgers. In the opener, Dusty Baker and Johnny Oates each hit a two-run homer to help stake the Dodgers to a 5-4 lead before the Padres tied the score in the eighth with singles by Mike Ivie and Dave Kingman around an infield out. Then in the ninth, George Hendrick doubled and when Bill Almon bunted, both runners were safe on a late throw to third. Ivie followed with a single, scoring Hendrick. Almon reached third on a throwing error and counted an extra run on an infield out by Dave Winfield.

In the nightcap, the Padres went into the ninth inning losing, 4-2, but quickly tied the score when Ivie singled and Winfield hit his second homer of the game. Merv Rettenmund followed with a double and scored the winning run on a single by Hendrick. [The Sporting News]
