A grand slam by Joe Ferguson in the first inning and a three-run homer by Reggie Smith in the fourth powered the Dodgers to a 10-1 victory over the Padres. After Don Sutton gave up the Padres' run to start the game, Davey Lopes singled in the Dodgers' half, Smith was hit by a pitch and Steve Garvey singled to tie the score. With two out, Dusty Baker walked to load the bases and Ferguson cleared the sacks with his homer off Randy Jones. [The Sporting News]
