After three-run rally in the ninth inning gave the Padres a 7-5 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Expos broke their four-game losing streak by winning the nightcap, 10-7. Dave Winfield hit a homer and two singles, driving in three runs for the Padres in the first game. The Expos, who had a two-run homer by Larry Parrish, led, 5-4, going into the ninth when Gene Richards tripled to ignite the Padres' rally. After a pass to Jerry Turner, Winfield singled to tie the score. Following another walk to Gene Tenace that loaded the bases, Bobby Tolan delivered the go-ahead run with an infield out and Kurt Bevacqua provided an insurance tally with a single.

In the nightcap, the Padres had a two-run homer by Winfield and solo swat by Fernando Gonzalez, but the Expos broke a 4-4 tie with five runs in the seventh inning. All of the Expos' runs were unearned as the result of an error by Gonzalez and pinned the defeat on Bob Owchinko, who split even for the night after winning the opener in relief.
