Randy Jones, a 22-game loser in 1974, fortified his bid for this year's Cy Young Award by pitching the Padres to a 4-0 victory over the Braves. The shutout was the sixth of the season for the young lefthander, who brought his record to 14-6 and lowered his earned-run average to 1.89 as the leader among the league's starting pitchers. Jones yielded only three hits. The Padres collected five off loser Phil Niekro. Johnny Grubb batted in two runs and scored one. [The Sporting News]
