Gaylord Perry and Eric Rasmussen combined to hurl the Padres to a 3-0 victory over the Giants, handing San Francisco its fifth straight loss. The Padres scored a run in the first inning on an RBI double by Dave Winfield, in the fourth frame on an RBI single by Tim Flannery -- playing in his first major league game -- and in the sixth on a balk that followed a triple by Dan Briggs.
