A pinch-single by Gene Tenace drove in the winning run in the ninth inning as the Cardinals edged the Padres, 7-6. After the Padres had bounced back from a 6-1 deficit to eventually tie the game in the eighth inning on a pinch-homer by Joe Lefebvre, the Cards got one-out singles in the ninth by pinch-hitter Mike Ramsey, Garry Templeton and Tommy Herr.
