A sacrifice fly by Derrel Thomas with the bases loaded in the eighth inning gave the Padres a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. Bob Barton led off the eighth with a single and Don Mason ran for him. Enzo Hernandez also singled, Mason stopping at second.

When Clay Kirby bunted, all runners were safe on a late throw to third. Dave Campbell was retired before Thomas came through with his fly. [The Sporting News]
