Led by Dave Kingman, who drove in five runs with a single and homer, the Padres overcame a 5-0 deficit and defeated the Reds, 8-7. One of the Reds' early runs came on a homer by George Foster. The Padres rallied for three runs in the third inning, two scoring on a bases-loaded single by Kingman.

After adding a run in the fifth, the Padres loaded the bases in the sixth when Dan Spillner walked, Tucker Ashford singled and Mike Ivie was hit by a pitch. Dave Winfield tied the score with a sacrifice fly and Kingman followed with a three-run homer for the game winning blow. Dan Driessen homered for the Reds with a man on base in the ninth.
