Stolen bases by Bill Buckner and Davey Lopes led to the Dodgers' runs in a 2-1 victory over the Padres, who lost to the West Division leaders for the 11th straight time this season. In the first inning, Buckner bunted safely, stole second and scored on a single by Steve Garvey. Lopes walked in the third, stole second and came home on a single by Buckner. Willie McCovey homered for the Padres in the fourth.

Don Sutton, who started for the Dodgers, was kayoed in the ninth when Gene Locklear and Nate Colbert led off with singles, but Mike Marshall saved the game. Derrel Thomas, attempting to sacrifice, forced Locklear at third. Dave Roberts then grounded into a double play. [The Sporting News]
