In a power display, Jim Wynn hit three homers, as well as a single with the bases loaded, to account for five runs batted in as the Dodgers defeated the Padres, 9-6. Wynn's wallops, each with the bases bare, came in the first, fifth and seventh innings, making the Toy Cannon only the second player to hit three homers in one game in the Dodgers' Los Angeles history. Don Demeter previously achieved the feat in 1959. Willie Crawford also homered for the Dodgers. Wynn hit his single in the second when the Dodgers piled up five runs. The Padres had a two-run homer by Nate Colbert in the fourth and made the game close with a four-run rally in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
