The Padres posted a 3-1 decision over the Dodgers behind the combined six-hit pitching of Bob Owchinko and Steve Mura. The first Padre run came in the third inning when Ozzie Smith doubled, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and came home on an infield single by Gene Richards. A sacrifice fly by Bill Fahey drove in another tally in the fourth and the final marker came in the seventh on a pair of Dodger errors. [The Sporting News]
