He hit a sacrifice fly in this late-1974 game (saved by Randy Jones) to score the winning run in the seventh inning. In his other 27 games in this role (21 of which the Padres lost) Grubb contributed little. Of course, those were his age-23 to age-27 seasons, when the Padres were awful and Grubb usually started.
