Dave Roberts smashed two homers and Nate Colbert hit one as the Padres ended Fergie Jenkins' mastery by defeating the Cubs, 8-5. Jenkins had beaten the Padres 13 straight times since the expansion club entered the N. L. in 1969.

Roberts' first homer with a man on base and a solo shot by Colbert helped the Padres take a 5-2 lead before a double by Rick Monday, single by Glenn Beckert and homer by Jim Hickman tied the score in the sixth. Roberts came up again in the seventh and hit his second homer of the game and the 28th given up by Jenkins in 166 1/3 innings this season. Roberts also singled for another RBI in the ninth when the Padres added their final two runs off Bob Locker. [The Sporting News]
