Dave Kingman hit his first homer in a San Diego uniform, but the blow did nothing more than produce the Padres' first run in a 9-2 loss to the Pirates. Kingman's clout in the second inning and another run on a double by George Hendrick and single by Bob Davis gave the Padres a 2-1 lead, but Willie Stargell tied the score with a homer in the fifth and the Pirates then broke away with three runs in the sixth on singles by Rennie Stennett, Phil Garner, Bill Robinson and Al Oliver, a pass to Stargell and infield out by Ed Ott.
