The tremendous relief pitching of Dave Roberts, who yielded only one hit in seven and two-thirds innings, enabled the Padres to defeat the Dodgers, 7-2. Roberts retired 18 batters in a row after replacing Mike Corkins with the bases loaded and one out in the second inning. The Padres scored four of their runs in the first. A single by Tommy Dean, double by Van Kelly, a passed ball and wild pitch accounted for the first two tallies. Al Ferrera then singled and Nate Colbert climaxed the stanza with a homer.
