A triple by Jerry Martin in the ninth inning for his third hit of the game and a sacrifice fly by Mick Kelleher gave the Cubs a 3-2 victory over the Padres. Martin's other hits included a run-scoring double in the second. After the Padres took a 2-1 lead, Larry Biittner drove in the Cubs' tying tally with a pinch-single in the seventh.
