The Padres snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Walks to Dave Cash and Gene Tenace paved the way for Padres' runs in the fourth inning. After Dave Winfield forced Tenace, Cash scored on a single by Willie Montanez and Winfield crossed the plate on a double by Jerry Mumphrey. Gary Matthews hit a pinch-homer for the Braves' tally.
