A two-run homer by Gene Tenace trigged the Padres to a 4-1 decision over the Braves. Tenace's round-tripper came with one out in the second inning and followed a single by Jerry Turner. Another single by Turner, a stolen base and pair of throwing errors helped the Padres to a marker in the fourth. A pinch-single by Charlie Spikes in the eighth produced the Braves' lone tally before the Padres picked up their final counter in the ninth, with Turner scoring his third run of the game.
