Combining with Gary Lucas on a four-hitter, Chris Welsh received credit for his first major league victory as the Padres topped the Giants, 3-1. The Padres scored twice in the fifth inning on a leadoff single by Terry Kennedy, two-out walk to Gene Richards and a two-run double by Ozzie Smith. The final run came in the eighth on a throwing error by San Francisco reliever Al Holland. [The Sporting News]
