Rallying for three runs in the ninth inning, the Padres posted a 6-5 come-from-behind triumph over the Dodgers. The Padres trailed, 5-3, entering the ninth, when Luis Salazar singled, moved to third on a single by Barry Evans and scored on a single by Gene Richards.

After Dave Goltz replaced Bobby Castillo on the mound for L.A., Dave Edwards stroked a single to plate Evans. Steve Howe then took over the mound chores and gave up a single to Ruppert Jones that drove in the decisive run. [The Sporting News]
