| 1971 | Clay Kirby goes the distance, limiting the Giants to one hit in the Padres' 2-1 victory at Candlestick Park. Willie McCovey spoils the right-hander's bid for a no-hitter when he leads off the bottom of the eighth inning with a wind-blown home run. |
| 2002 | Not too fleet-of-foot, Greg Colbrunn hits an improbable triple in his last turn at-bat to complete the cycle. The Diamondbacks first baseman has five hits, including a pair of two-run homers, in the team's 10-3 victory over the Padres at Qualcomm Stadium. |

The Dodgers, who are last in the National League in homers, hit four consecutive home runs in an inning when Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin, and Marlon Anderson all go deep in the bottom of the ninth to tie the Padres, 9-9. The improbable feat, accomplished only by the 1964 Twins, 1963 Indians, and the 1961 Braves, leads to Nomar Garciaparra's walk-off two-run homer in the tenth and sole possession of first place when Los Angeles beat the Friars, 11-10.
