Dave Freisleben, who had pitched two successive shutouts, was knocked out in the second inning by the Pirates, who piled up four runs en route to a 7-2 victory over the Padres. Freisleben yielded a walk and single before Rennie Stennett doubled to drive in the Pirates' first run. Richie Hebner followed with a two-run single and Al Oliver added a double for another run to chase Freisleben. [The Sporting News]
