After Vicente Romo pulled an arm muscle pitching to only two batters in his first start of the season, the Padres called on Lowell Palmer, who hurled the rest of the way and defeated the Cardinals, 2-1. Lou Brock, who led off with a single for the Cards, was thrown out trying to steal and Ted Sizemore struck out before Romo left the mound. Brock later stole his 80th base of the season and 715th of his career.

The only run off Palmer came on a homer by Reggie Smith in the fourth inning. The Padres scored once in the first on a double by Dave Hilton and single by Dave Winfield before adding their winning marker in fifth on singles by Hilton and Gene Locklear and double by Winfield. [The Sporting News]
