With the aid of a triple play, Clay Kirby posted his first shutout of the season and pitched the Padres to a 2-0 victory over the Braves. The Padres, who ended a string of seven straight losses to the Braves, scored their runs in the fourth inning on a double by Nate Colbert, triple by Leron Lee and double by Ollie Brown.

The triple play came in the seventh after Earl Williams singled and Hal King walked. Oscar Brown lined to Don Mason, whose throw to Colbert doubled King. Colbert then fired to Enzo Hernandez at second and nailed Williams off base for the third out. [The Sporting News]
