Breaking a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning, the Cubs went on to edge the Padres, 4-3. With two out in the sixth, singles by Manny Trillo, Gene Clines and Rodney Scott accounted for one run and Clines scored when Padre shortstop Ozzie Smith, after fielding Scott's grounder, threw wildly to third. The Padres got one run back in the bottom of the frame on a walk to Jerry Turner and singles by Gene Tenace and Bill Almon, but pinch-hitter Derrel Thomas flied out to end the inning.
