Four hits by Larry Herndon paced the Giants to a 4-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but a two-run homer by Dave Winfield triggered the Padres to a 4-1 triumph in the nightcap. The Giants scored a pair of runs in the second inning of the lidlifter on a double by Willie McCovey, single by Herndon, double by Johnnie LeMaster and a squeeze bunt by Jim Barr. A single by Bill Madlock in the fourth frame drove in another tally.

Winfield's round-tripper in the second game came with Fernando Gonzalez on base in the first inning. Jerry Turner hit a bases-loaded pinch-single in the sixth to account for the other two Padre runs. [The Sporting News]
