A three-run pinch-homer by Jerry Turner in the bottom of the ninth gave the Padres a 4-2 triumph over the Cubs. With the Padres trailing, 2-1, Gene Tenace began the ninth with a single. Fernando Gonzalez sacrificed Tenace to second and was safe at first when the throw from second was late.

Bill Almon was retired on a grounder and Turner came on to deliver his game-winning round-tripper. The circuit clout came off reliever Bruce Sutter, but the loss was absorbed by Ray Burris. [The Sporting News]
