Ed Spiezio hit the first grand-slam homer of his career and the first to the credit of the Padres this season to wrap up an 11-3 victory over the Cubs. Spiezio's slam was the 41st in the N. L. this year, breaking the 1969 league record of 40. The Padres, who also had solo swats by Cito Gaston and Ollie Brown, were leading, 6-1, going into the sixth when Gaston tripled and scored on a single by Al Ferrara. Singles by Brown and Nate Colbert then loaded the bases for Spiezio's smash off Roberto Rodriguez. [The Sporting News]
