Rolling to their sixth straight triumph, the Padres edged the Giants, 2-1, in 10 innings. A single by Gene Richards opened the Padre 10th. After Ozzie Smith sacrificed Richards to second and Fernando Gonzalez grounded out, Dave Winfield walked and Oscar Gamble was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Tucker Ashford then walked on a 3-1 pitch to force the winning run home. The first Padre run came in the sixth on a solo homer by Winfield. [The Sporting News]
