The Padres ended a six-game losing streak by defeating the Reds, 5-2, behind the four-hit hurling of Steve Arlin. After the Padres scored on a triple by Derrel Thomas and single by Garry Jestadt in the first inning, the Reds took a 2-1 lead on four walks in the second and triples by Johnny Bench and Joe Hague in the third.

Leron Lee tied the game with a homer in the fourth. Nate Colbert singled in the sixth and scored when Bobby Tolan misplayed a drive by Johnny Jeter for a three-base error. Bob Barton laid down a squeeze bunt to plate Jeter. Colbert wound up the scoring with a homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
