Although the Padres collected only four hits off Bob Gibson, they included homers by Willie McCovey and Dave Winfield in a 3-1 victory over the Cardinals. Gibson gave up two walks and a single by Dave Hilton for a run in the second inning and then yielded McCovey's homer in the fourth. The Cards counted off Dan Spillner on singles by Reggie Smith, Joe Torre and Ted Simmons in the sixth, but Winfield offset that with his homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
