Tom Bradley pitched a six-hitter and gained his first victory since June 4 when the Giants defeated the Padres, 9-2. Ed Goodson hit a homer with two men on base and Gary Matthews rapped a round-tripper with one aboard in the Giants' attack, while Chris Speier accounted for two RBIs with a pair of doubles. Johnny Grubb and Willie McCovey homered for the Padres' runs. [The Sporting News]
