Bill Singer shut out the Padres for the second time this season and Duke Sims and Willie Davis each drove in a run to produce a 2-0 victory for the Dodgers. Bill Greif held the Dodgers scoreless until the seventh inning when Billy Grabarkewitz singled and raced home on a double by Sims. Bill Buckner singled in the eighth for his fourth hit of the game and scored on a triple by Davis. [The Sporting News]
