Although tagged for three homers, Fergie Jenkins allowed only two other hits and pitched the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Padres. Johnny Callison batted in three of the Cubs' first four runs with a single and a homer. Billy Williams homered for the Cubs' final run in the eighth. Nate Colbert, Bob Barton and Al Ferrara rapped round-trippers for the Padres. [The Sporting News]
