A throwing error by newly-acquired pitcher Dick Ruthven led to two first-inning runs and helped the Padres defeat the Phillies, 4-1, behind the combined eight-hit pitching of Gaylord Perry and Rollie Fingers. Gene Richards opened the Padres' first with a double and scored when Ruthven threw a bunt by Ozzie Smith into right field. Smith reached third on the error and scored on a sacrifice fly by Derrel Thomas. The Padres added a run in the second on an RBI double by Bill Almon and closed the scoring in the eighth on an RBI single by Smith. The Phillies knocked out Perry after one out in the ninth when Richie Hebner, Garry Maddox and Bob Boone had consecutive singles, but Fingers came in and retired the final two batters.
