| Getting a lift from batterymate Steve Yeager, who hit a homer in the fifth inning, Andy Messersmith pitched the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Padres. In losing to the Dodgers for the 13th straight time this season, the Padres were able to score only in the fourth on a single by Glenn Beckert, walk to Johnny Grubb, a passed ball and infield out by Dave Winfield. Jim Wynn singled and Steve Garvey doubled for the tying run in the Dodgers' half of the fourth before Yeager hit his game-deciding homer off Joe McIntosh in the fifth. [The Sporting News] |
