The Dodgers snapped a five-game losing streak and posted their first victory of the season by defeating the Padres, 6-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Bill Singer. The Dodgers scored four runs in the first inning, two on a single by Wes Parker. In the seventh, Tom Haller walked and Billy Grabarkewitz hit his first major league homer and also the first homer by any member of the Dodgers this year. [The Sporting News]
