Dave Roberts, the N. L. leader in earned run average, pitched the Padres to a 5-1 victory over the Reds. Despite his ERA, Roberts has had difficulties winning for the Padres and the victory was only his eighth against 11 defeats. The Padres backed their lefthander with an attack that included two run-scoring doubles by Dave Campbell. [The Sporting News]
