The Giants staked Juan Marichal to a three-run lead in the first inning and the veteran righthander breezed to a 5-1 victory over the Padres. A walk to Bobby Bonds and singles by Tito Fuentes and Garry Maddox produced the first run. After a pass to Gary Matthews loaded the bases, two more runs scored on a sacrifice fly by Chris Speier and single by Dave Kingman. The Giants picked up another run in the third and added their final tally on a homer by Bonds in the sixth. Johnny Grubb saved the Padres from being shutout with a circuit clout in the eighth.
