Darrel Chaney, who had hit only 11 home runs in nine previous big league seasons, drilled a two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning to give the Braves their first victory of the season, 8-7 over the Padres. With two out, Barry Bonnell singled to center and Chaney drove the first pitch off reliever Bob Shirley over the left-center field fence. Earlier, Gary Matthews drove in four runs for the Braves with a pair of homers and Dave Winfield accounted for four Padre tallies with a two-run single in the first inning and two-run homer in the third.
