Bill Sudakis batted in two runs with a homer and a single and Billy Grabarkewitz scored twice after reaching base with a single and a walk as the Dodgers defeated the Padres. 4-1, before largest the regular-season crowd in Los Angeles history, 55,110. A Helmet Night promotion attracted the throng, including numerous youngsters.

Claude Osteen, who pitched for the Dodgers, yielded six hits. The Padres' run in the sixth on a pass to Dave Campbell and double by Cito Gaston ended a string of 25 straight scoreless innings of pitching by the Dodgers' staff. [The Sporting News]
