A two-run homer by George Foster in the ninth inning lifted the Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Padres. Junior Kennedy led off with a single before Foster drilled a ball into the left field seats. The Padres had taken a 1-0 lead in the eighth on an RBI groundout by Dave Winfield. [The Sporting News]
