Mike Krukow gave up three doubles in a row in the bottom of the first, which gave the Pirates an early 2-0 lead. The Giants were able to tie the game, though, by the fourth inning. The score stayed knotted until the bottom of the eighth. Tony Pena lead things off by singling. He stole second base on a failed hit and run with Bill Madlock at the plate. Madlock then doubled to give the Pirates the go-ahead run. Madlock was 3-4 for the day, which he badly needed. He has been ice cold this Statis Pro season.

Game #392 - San Diego Padres, 1 @ St. Louis Cardinals, 2 (12 innings)
The languishing Padres were in town against the smoking-hot Cardinals. Lonnie Smith gave the cards an early lead when he knocked home Andy VanSlyke in the bottom of the second. But the Padres took the lead after an unlikely home run from Alan Wiggins and an RBI hit from Carmelo Martinez.
The Padres had a 3-2 lead in the seventh but lost it when St. Louis tied the game on a Ken Oberkfell RBI. The next four innings were scoreless, pushing the match to the 12th inning. Dave Rucker, pitching his third inning of relief, gave up a homer to pinch hitter Kurt Bevacqua. All the Padres had to do was record three outs for the win. New reliever Dave Dravecky took the mound and disaster ensued. Chris Speier singled, Willie McGee walked, and David Green singled to load the bases. Tom Herr then ripped a two-RBI single for the walk off win!!!
