Dale Murphy cracked a solo homer in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie and added a two-run single in the seventh to lead the Braves to a 4-2 triumph over the Padres. Murphy's seventh-inning hit came off reliever Rollie Fingers, who had taken over after starter Eric Rasmussen loaded the bases on singles by Bill Nahorodny and Larry McWilliams and a pass to Glenn Hubbard. McWilliams scattered eight hits and went the distance for the first time in 13 starts this season. [The Sporting News]
