A throwing error by Mike Ivie with two out and the bases loaded in the 10th inning handed the Dodgers a 3-2 victory over the Padres. Singles by Jerry Turner and Mike Champion around a sacrifice produced a run for the Padres in the seventh. The Dodgers went ahead when Bill Russell singled and Reggie Smith homered in the eighth. With his drive, Smith completed the cycle of hitting a homer in every N. L. and A. L. park in which he had played.

The Padres tied the score with a circuit clout by Dave Winfield in the ninth. With two out in the Dodgers' 10th, Russell singled and Smith and Ron Cey walked to load the bases. Steve Garvey then tapped to Ivie, who threw low to first base, allowing Russell to score. [The Sporting News]
