Gaylord Perry scattered six hits and pitched the Padres to a 3-1 triumph over the Cubs. The Padres scored twice in the first inning. Gene Richards opened with a double, reached third when the ball was mishandled on the relay and scored on an infield hit by Ozzie Smith. A single by Kurt Bevacqua produced a second tally. The Padres registered their last marker in the third on a single by Gene Tenace and double by Bevacqua. [The Sporting News]
