The Padres rallied for six runs in the seventh inning to tie the score at 9-9, but their efforts went for naught when the Dodgers exploded for six runs in the 13th to gain a 15-9 victory. Jim Wynn hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers to help them to an early 9-3 lead before the Padres staged their uprising in the seventh. An error, walk and single by Derrel Thomas led to the exit of Al Downing, but Mike Marshall proved ineffective in relief. Enzo Hernandez and Johnny Grubb walked, each forcing in one run. Dave Winfield singled to drive in another run and Cito Gaston added a pair with a single to knock out Marshall. After Jim Brewer took over, Fred Kendall tied the score with a sacrifice fly.

The Dodgers laid in wait until two were out in the 13th when Bill Buckner, Wynn and Steve Garvey hit singles to produce the tie-breaking tally. Ron Cey accounted for another run with a single. Manny Mota walked to load the bases and Bill Russell also drew a pass to force in the third run of the inning. Steve Yeager followed with a two-run single and Willie Crawford capped the scoring with a single for the sixth run. [The Sporting News]
