Although Randy Jones lost to the Giants, 5-3, the Padres' ace lefthander won the league's earned run average title with a mark of 2.24. Jones gave up four runs, but only two were earned. Gary Matthews homered with a man on base off Jones in the first inning and Gary Thomasson added a solo swat off reliever Danny Frisella in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
