Willie Davis homered in the fourth inning and then connected for the circuit again with two men on base in the eighth to power the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Padres. nate Colbert hit his 32nd homer of the season for the Padres. Ron Perranoski, pitching in relief, received credit for his first victory since rejoining the Dodgers as a free agent following his release by the Tigers. [The Sporting News]
