The Giants' inability to beat southpaws manifested itself again in a 6-2 loss to the Padres. Rich Folkers, who pitched the route for the Padres, became the ninth straight lefthander to tame the Frisco crew. The Padres jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a double by Bobby Tolan and singles by Dave Winfield, Willie McCovey and Mike Ivie.

A walk to Fred Kendall, sacrifice by Folkers and single by Tolan added a marker in the second. Enzo Hernandez plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and McCovey singled for his second RBI of the game when the Padres wound up their scoring in the seventh. A triple by Derrel Thomas and double by Bruce Miller produced the Giants' tallies. [The Sporting News]
