Greg Gross and Ken Boswell collected three singles apiece and Dave Roberts pitched a four-hitter as the Astros defeated the Padres, 6-2, to snap a five-game losing streak. Boswell batted in two runs and scored one, while Gross drove in one run and scored one. The Padres, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak, had homers by Willie McCovey and Dave Winfield for their markers. [The Sporting News]
