Continuing his sensational comeback, Randy Jones yielded only two hits and pitched the Padres to a 6-1 victory over the Astros. The Padres provided a winning sendoff for their southpaw by scoring four runs in the first inning. Ted Kubiak plated a pair with a single.

Bob Watson tripled in the second and counted the Astros' run on an infield out by Cliff Johnson. Hector Torres got that run back for the Padres with a homer in the third. The victory was the 15th of the season for Jones, who lost 22 games last year. [The Sporting News]
