Surviving a shaky first inning in which the Cardinals scored their only runs, Alan Foster shackled his former mates the rest of the way on three hits as the Padres beat St. Louis, 5-2. Lou Brock tripled and scored on Ted Sizemore's sacrifice in the first. Singles by Luis Melendez, Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly loaded the bases, but the Cardinals managed only one more run, Melendez scoring on a groundout by Keith Hernandez, before Foster slammed the door.

The Padres scored three off reliever-turned-starter Elias Sosa, Dave Winfield doubling home the first run, Mike Ivie's sacrifice fly plating the second and Fred Kendall scoring the third with an RBI single. Winfield belted a two-run, fifth-inning homer to conclude the scoring. [The Sporting News]
