With Bob Owchinko and Rollie Fingers combining on a five-hitter, the Padres blanked the Braves, 2-0. The Padres' first run came in the third when Rick Sweet walked, moved to second on a sacrifice by Owchinko and scored on a single by Ozzie Smith.

Their second tally came in the fifth when Gene Richards beat out an infield single, continued to second on a throwing error and scored on a single by Derrel Thomas. Fingers entered the game in the eighth with two men on and two out and got Rowland Office on a pop fly. [The Sporting News]
