Homers by Merv Rettenmund and Dave Winfield, together with RBI singles by Gene Tenace and Mike Champion, accounted for the Padres' scoring in a 4-1 victory over the Pirates. Bob Shirley pitched six scoreless innings for the Padres before going out. After Dave Tomlin gave up the Pirates' run in the ninth, Rollie Fingers took over and struck out the final batter to pick up his 15th save. [The Sporting News]
