Rookie Randy Jones registered his first major league victory as the Padres handed the Dodgers their fourth straight defeat, 4-1. The lefthander permitted but four singles and the only run off him was unearned, coming as a result of two Padre errors. The Padres, held scoreless until the sixth by Tommy John, broke his service in that frame on singles by Derrel Thomas, Jerry Morales and Dave Roberts and a three-run double by Nate Colbert.

They added another tally in the seventh on singles by Dave Winfield, Thomas and Morales. Jones, who had lost two games before winning this one, threw only 90 pitches and had the Dodgers hitting into the ground throughout the evening. [The Sporting News]
