The Padres broke a 4-4 tie with four runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Braves, 9-5. In the early going, Barry Bonnell hit a two-run homer for the Braves and Gene Tenace rapped a solo drive for the Padres. Ozzie Smith, Jerry Turner and Dave Winfield singled in succession to produce the tie-breaking run in the eighth. Mike Hargrove walked to load the bases and Tenace delivered another run with a sacrifice fly. Braves' third baseman Jerry Royster, on the relay from the outfield, threw wild to second trying to nail Hargrove, and both Winfield and Hargrove scored on the error. [The Sporting News] |
