Allowing only five hits, Bob Shirley turned in the first complete game of his major league career and pitched the Padres to a 3-1 victory over the Giants. The Padres counted all their runs in the second inning on a single by George Hendrick, triple by Dave Winfield, pass to Gene Tenace, single by Shirley and an error on the play by Derrel Thomas. Pinch-hitter Gary Alexander homered in the seventh for the Giants' tally. [The Sporting News]
