Making his first start since August 27, Clay Kirby received credit for his first victory since August 17 when the Padres defeated the Dodgers, 5-2. Kirby retired after five innings and Mike Corkins finished. Randy Elliott, rookie outfielder from Alexandria (Texas), paced the Padres with his bat, driving in two runs with a single and double.
