A two-hitter by Bob Shirley -- his first major league shutout -- carried the Padres to a 6-0 decision over the Dodgers. Dave Winfield clouted a homer in the third inning following singles by Ozzie Smith and Paul Dade. Gene Richards stroked an RBI single in the fourth and Dan Briggs hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
