Tommy John, who was out all last season with a sore elbow, turned in his best game since returning to action this year and pitched the Dodgers to a 5-0 victory over the Padres. The Dodgers provided John with an early lead when Bill Buckner and Steve Yeager hit consecutive horners in the third inning.
