Capping a productive month, Dave Winfield drove in three runs, giving him 31 RBIs for June, to lead the Padres to a 5-2 victory over the Astros. Ozzie Smith went 4-for-4 and scored three of the Padres' runs. Winfield knocked in a pair with a single in the first inning. Fernando Gonzalez sent a run across with a double in the third and scored when Winfield singled again for his third RBI. [The Sporting News]
