Luis Salazar's 2-run HR in the 9th put a cap on this one as the Padres took the opener 6-3. Garry Templeton had 2 hits and score twice. Bruce Hurst was spectacular through 7 innings but the Giants tied it in the 8th before Salazar's blast decided the outcome.
Greg W. Harris fired 7 shutout innings while Garry Templeton and Marvel Wynne went back-to-back in the 4th to lead the Padres to a 4-3 win. It was 4-0 until the 9th when the Giants rallied. Five consecutive singles and a sac fly off Mark Grant and Mark Davis made it a 4-3 game. But Davis struck out Garry Maddox to end the game and preserve the win.
This was a wild game. The Padres amassed a 7-4 lead on HR by Jack Clark and John Kruk and carried that into the 7th. The Giants added a run to make it 7-5, then gave a big one back in the 8th on PH Damien Jackson's solo HR. The run was huge because Dave Rader hit a 2-run HR off Mark Davis in the 9th that would have tied the game but left the Giants a run short, 8-7. The win by the Padres put them into a tie with the Giants for first place in the West.
The Giants needed a stopped and today it was Juan Marichal who did the job. He carried a 1-hitter into the 9th and finished with a 3-hit shutout, winning 8-0. It was a relatively close game at 2-0 then 4-0 before a disastrous 9th for the Padres where SF scored 4 times. Ed Goodson hit 2 HR and drove in 3 while Garry Maddox added a solo blast. The Giants now lead San Diego by 1 game with 4 to play.
