With three homers accounting for all their runs, the Braves defeated the Padres, 6-5. Bill Nahorodny connected for the Braves' initial run in the fifth inning. Then in the sixth, Glenn Hubbard walked and Dale Murphy singled to chase Padres starter Steve Mura.

Bob Shirley relieved and was tagged for a three-run homer by Gary Matthews. After Bob Horner walked, John D'Acquisto took the mound for the Padres and was greeted with a two-run homer by Jeff Burroughs. [The Sporting News]
