Luis Salazar collected four hits and Broderick Perkins drove in two runs to spark the Padres to a 5-1 triumph over the Braves. A single by Perkins drove home a first-inning run and Perkins also stroked an RBI single in the sixth.

A squeeze bunt by Ozzie Smith produced a second-inning run and Juan Bonilla singled home a marker in the third. Salazar's four hits, following two hits in his last two at-bats in the previous game, gave him six straight hits and raised his average 17 points to .299. [The Sporting News]
