Bob Shirley allowed only three hits in eight innings of shutout relief as the Padres defeated the Braves, 10-2. Shirley took over for starter Mickey Lolich in the second inning when the veteran southpaw complained of a sore shoulder after walking the first batter of the frame. Dave Winfield, who led the Padre offense with five RBIs, singled home two runs in the third inning and climaxed a seven-run fifth with a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
