Holding the Cubs to five hits in each game, the Padres swept a twi-night doubleheader, 1-0 and 7-2. Dave Roberts was the winner of the opener with ninth-inning help from Bob Miller. However, after Miller relieved with one out, right fielder Larry Stahl saved the game, grabbing a fly by Jim Hickman and throwing out Glenn Beckert, who tried to score from third base after the catch. The Padres' run counted in the fifth on a triple by Ivan Murrell and sacrifice fly by Ed Spiezio.

Steve Arlin went the route in the nightcap. Nate Colbert drove in four runs with a triple and homer, in addition to hitting a single. [The Sporting News]
