The Phillies drew first blood in the bottom of the second when Ivan DeJesus tripled and later scored on a Marty Bystrom double. Bystrom scampered across home on a rare Tom Herr fielding error and the Phils were up 2-0.
The Cardinals took the lead in the top of the third, though. They plated three runs, including a two-run homer from Tom Nieto, who must be on 'roids the way he's hitting with Darrell Porter on the DL. Joe Lefebvre, though, tied it up with a solo homer in the bottom half of the third.
Mike Schmidt made a terrible error in the fourth that allowed both Herr and Ozzie Smith to score, which gave the Cardinals a two-run advantage.
The score stayed 5-3 into the bottom of the ninth. Bruce Sutter was in his third inning of relief when John Wockenfuss poked a single. Two batters later Schmidt drew a walk and Sutter was in trouble. Up stepped Garry Maddox...WHO TOOK SUTTER DEEEEEP! HOME RUN!!!! A WALK-OFF HOMER!!!

Graig Nettles bombed Craig McMurtry in the bottom of the first to give the Padres a quick 3-0 lead after one inning of play. But Dave Dravecky gave up two runs in the third on a Claudell Washington single and a sacrifice fly by Randy Johnson. Johnson singled home Glenn Hubbard in the fifth to tie the game up.
It stayed knotted through nine innings and that meant free baseball. The Padres bullpen was depleted after going extra innings the night before so they were forced to bring in Luis DeLeon. The first batter he faced, Claudell Washington, put a ball into the right field bleachers. Terry Forster worked two innings of relief for the win and the Padres have now lost five in a row.
