Single tallies in the first three innings were enough to give the Padres a 3-2 victory over the Reds. A double by Enzo Hernandez, an infield out and Johnny Grubb's sacrifice fly got the first run home. Singles by Glenn Beckert, Tito Fuentes and Fred Kendall produced the second score and the winning margin came on Dave Winfield's sacrifice fly which followed singles by Grubb and Willie McCovey. Starting pitcher Joe McIntosh scattered six hits over the first seven innings but needed relief work by Dave Tomlin and Bill Greif to register his first major league victory. [The Sporting News]
