Scoring both runs on bases-loaded walks, the Giants blanked the Padres, 2-0, behind the combined pitching of Doyle Alexander and Greg Minton. Johnny LeMaster started the winning rally in the fifth inning with a single and scored on consecutive walks to Alexander, Chili Davis and Enos Cabell.

After Danny Boone replaced Juan Eichelberger on the hill for the Padres, Joe Morgan walked to force in another marker. It was the first victory for Giants Manager Frank Robinson and first loss for San Diego's boss Frank Howard. [The Sporting News]
