Winning for the third straight time, Dick Ruthven yielded only five hits and struck out 10 while pitching the Braves to a 4-1 victory over the Padres. The only run off Ruthven was unearned on one of the righthander's two errors in the game. Gary Matthews and Rowland Office hit homers. Matthews' blow, with a man on base in the fourth inning, was his first in an Atlanta uniform.
