The Padres, who had lost 13 straight games to the Dodgers this year and 16 in a row over two seasons, ended their patsy role with a 4-3 victory. The Padres jumped on Doug Rau for two runs in the first inning on a walk to Enzo Hernandez, single by Bobby Tolan and triple by Dave Winfield. In the third, Glenn Beckert and Tolan singled and both scored on a double by Nate Colbert. Dan Spillner held the Dodgers to five hits.

Bill Buckner, who had three safeties, singled and scored in the fourth and doubled to drive in another run in the sixth. Jim Wynn accounted for the Dodgers' final tally in the ninth with his 32nd homer, breaking Frank Howard's Los Angeles club record of 31 in 1962. [The Sporting News]
