Tossing a two-hitter, rookie righthander Bruce Berenyi, who had never given up fewer than three runs in his six previous major league starts and had never pitched more than seven innings, hurled the Reds to a 4-0 whitewashing of the Padres. The Reds put the game away in the first inning on a two-run double by Dave Concepcion and run-scoring single by Ron Oester. George Foster cracked a solo homer in the third. [The Sporting News]
