Atlanta had a 6-0 lead over the Padres after seven innings. But in the top of the eight, San Diego started to fight back. Graig Nettles launched a three run bomb off starter Pascual Perez to cut the deficit in half. In the top of the ninth, the Padres loaded the bases after scoring two runs of Gene Garber. Terry Forster dug in against Graig Nettles, and Nettles lined a ball to right field like a laser. But Dale Murphy made an amazing catch and caught Kevin McReynolds too far off the base to end the game for Atlanta.
