The Padres, with rookie Bob Owchinko in two-hit form, scored an unearned run in the third inning and defeated the Dodgers, 1-0. Gene Richards singled, stole second and moved to third on a single by Bill Almon. With Mike Ivie batting, the Dodgers had Almon picked off first, but Steve Garvey's throw to Bill Russell, covering second, sailed over Almon's head into left field, enabling Richards to score.
