Bill Greif, who had lost his last six straight decisions with the Padres, snapped back by pitching his first shutout of the season and defeating the Giants, 4-0. Bobby Tolan drove in a run in the third inning to stake Greif to a slim lead before Fred Kendall clinched the outcome with a bases-loaded triple in the sixth.

Enzo Hernandez opened that stanza with a single. Dave Winfield grounded to Tito Fuentes and when Chris Speier dropped the throw to second, both runners were safe. Willie McCovey popped up, but Johnny Grubb singled to load the bases. Derrel Thomas then forced Hernandez at the plate before Kendall came up and hit his three-bagger. [The Sporting News]
