A homer by Dale Murphy with two men on base climaxed a five-run rally in the eighth inning that carried the Braves to a 5-4 decision over the Padres. Jeff Burroughs began the winning rally with a pinch-single. A single by Jerry Royster moved Burroughs to second and brought on Rollie Fingers in relief of starter Randy Jones. A single by Gary Matthews loaded the bases and two runs scored on a single by Bob Horner. Murphy then followed with a clout over the right field fence. [The Sporting News] |
