Four pitchers combined on a four-hitter as the Braves shaded the Padres, 2-1. The Braves scored a run in the second inning when Jeff Burroughs stroked a single, went to second on an error by second baseman Barry Evans and raced home on a single by Bruce Benedict. A sixth-inning homer by Chris Chambliss accounted for the Braves' other run. [The Sporting News]
