Breaking out of an 0-for-24 slump, Mike Ivie collected three singles and drove in three runs to help the Padres snap an eight-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Astros. The Padres scored five of their runs in the seventh inning. Dave Roberts tripled behind two walks and counted himself on an error. Mike Champion was safe on another error, Jerry Turner doubled and Ivie sent them both home with a single. [The Sporting News]
