Aided by an error, the Braves tallied twice in the 11th inning to down the Padres, 3-1. The game was tied, 1-1, when pinch-hitter Larry Whisenton opened the 11th with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Eddie Miller, who stole second. A single by Claudell Washington scored Miller, and when Luis Salazar misplayed the ball in right field, Washington reached third. He scored on a single by Jerry Royster. [The Sporting News]
