Winning their second straight West division title, the Dodgers blanked the Padres, 4-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Bob Welch. It was the 21-year-old rookie's third shutout since joining the club from Albuquerque (Pacific Coast) June 20. Garvey rapped out three straight hits, including a double, and drove in three runs.
