A two-run error by Ollie Brown, who dropped a fly in the seventh inning, enabled the Dodgers to gain a 7-5 victory over the Padres, who went down to their seventh straight defeat. After Bill Sudakis homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead, the Dodgers scored two runs in the seventh and had two men on base with two out when Brown failed to catch a long fly by Tom Haller.

Don Sutton allowed only five hits, but they included two homers by Nate Colbert and one each by Dave Campbell and Al Ferrara before Jim Brewer relieved in the eighth. The victory was the Dodgers' fifth in a row. [The Sporting News]
