A bases-loaded triple by Cesar Geronimo in the second inning started the Reds off to a 9-4 victory over the Padres, who suffered their sixth straight defeat. After Joe Morgan homered in the third, the Reds added three runs in the fourth to chase Clay Kirby. Jim McGlothlin put the icing on his victory with a circuit clout in the eighth.
