San Diego put up three runs in the bottom of the third as Bob Knepper was struggling. Tony Gwynn singled home Ed Whitson, Carmelo Martinez hit a sacrifice fly to score Alan Wiggins, and then Gwynn scored on a Kevin McReynolds hit.
The Padres picked up another run in the sixth when Steve Garvey singled home Martinez. It was three more runs in the eighth as Frank DiPino worked his second inning of relief. Kevin McReynolds launched a two-run homer and then Garvey hit a solo shot as well. Meanwhile, starter Ed Whitson scattered six hits across seven scoreless innings and Craig Lefferts retired six in a row to secure the victory for the brown and yellow.

The Giants jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first when Bob Brenly took Rick Camp deep for a two-run homer. The Braves liked the look of that, because they replicated the feat twice in the fourth. Glen Hubbard hit a two-run bomb with Gerald Perry on and Dale Murphy did the same with Claudell Washington on first two batters later.
In the top of the seventh (not that) Randy Johnson hit the fourth two-run home run of the game to extend Atlanta's lead to 8-2. In the bottom half of the inning Jack Clark hit a solo shot but the Giants were as good as done by then.
