The Padres finished in second place at 89–73, three games behind the San Francisco Giants.
This was the Padres' last full season under the ownership of Joan Kroc, who had inherited the franchise following the death of her husband Ray in 1984.
Kroc sold the team to a consortium led by Tom Werner the following year.
