Steve Yeager, who homered earlier in the game, capped a two-run rally with a sacrifice fly in the eighth as the Dodgers beat the Padres, 4-3. The Padres, who did not leave a man on base, collected only three hits off Andy Messersmith, but they came together in the fifth inning to produce a 3-2 lead on a homer by Mike Ivie, single by Willie McCovey and homer by Bobby Tolan. The Dodgers scored the tying run in the eighth on a pass to Joe Ferguson with the bases loaded before Yeager hit his sacrifice fly for the winning marker. [The Sporting News]
