After losing three straight starts, Randy Jones finally gained his 19th victory of the season when the Padres defeated the Expos, 7-2. Jones was hit on the foot by a batted ball in the fourth inning but continued pitching until the eighth when swelling forced the southpaw to yield the mound to Butch Metzger. Dave Winfield and Mike Ivie each batted in two of the Padres' runs. Earl Williams hit his first homer in an Expos' uniform after rapping nine previously with the Braves. [The Sporting News]
