Dusty Baker batted in three runs with a homer and single for the Dodgers, who also had a circuit clout by Steve Yeager in a 5-3 victory over the Padres. Rick Monday singled ahead of Baker's round-tripper in the second inning and Yeager followed with a solo shot.

Monday singled again in the sixth, moved to second on an error and scored when Baker singled. A double by Yeager, sacrifice by Burt Hooton and infield hit by Bill Russell added the Dodgers' last run in the seventh. Dave Kingman hit a homer with a man on base for the Padres. [The Sporting News]
