Capping a two-run rally in the ninth inning, Kurt Bevacqua singled with the bases loaded and two out to bring the Padres a 4-3 victory over the Giants. After the Giants took a 3-2 lead in the ninth on a run-scoring double by Mike Ivie, the Padres began their comeback with one out when pinch-hitter Dan Briggs singled. Paul Dade followed with a single and pinch-hitter Bobby Tolan also singled to plate the tying run. Gene Tenace struck out before the Giants walked Dave Winfield intentionally to load the bases in a move that backfired when Bevacqua hit his winning single.
