Clay Kirby allowed only one hit -- a homer by Willie McCovey in the eighth inning -- as the righthander pitched the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Giants, who were able to retain their two-game lead in the West division when the Dodgers also lost to the Braves. Bob Barton tripled for the Padres in the third inning and scored their first run on a squeeze bunt by Enzo Hernandez.
