Taking part in all of the Padres' scoring, Fred Kendall hit two doubles and laid down a squeeze bunt in a 4-2 victory over the Reds, who were halted on their five-game winning streak. Kendall doubled in the third inning and scored on an error. A single by Dave Hilton, Kendall's second double and a single by Steve Arlin added two runs in the fourth. Johnny Grubb singled in the eighth and, after reaching third on a sacrifice and error, scored on Kendall's bunt. [The Sporting News]
