In their poorest start since moving from Brooklyn in 1958, the Dodgers suffered their fifth straight defeat since the start of the season, bowing to the Padres, 4-0. Danny Coombs, who pitched the first six innings, combined with Ron Herbel in posting the shutout. Ed Spiezio sent the Padres on their way to victory by hitting a two-run homer in the second.
