Two homers by Steve Garvey lifted the Dodgers to a 3-2 decision over the Padres. The first baseman hit a solo clout in the second inning and a two-run blast in the fourth frame. The victory was the fourth straight for the Dodgers and the loss was the fourth in a row for the Padres. [The Sporting News]
