Dan Driessen drove in four runs, three with a homer, and George Foster and Dave Concepcion drove in three apiece behind Mario Soto's three-hitter, leading the Reds to victory and a sweep of their three-game series. Soto, a 24-year-old righthander, missed a shutout when the Padres scored an unearned run in the sixth to end a scoreless string that extended to 15 2/3 innings. [upi]
