Sending 13 batters to the plate and scoring eight runs in the fifth inning, the Reds romped over the Padres, 11-2. A run-scoring double by Dan Driessen produced the first run in the fifth. The others came in on a hit batsman with the bases loaded, an RBI single by Ron Oester, two-run error by San Diego third baseman Luis Salazar, run-scoring single by Ken Griffey, sacrifice fly by Dave Concepcion and a wild pitch. Tom Seaver scattered eight hits in going the distance. [The Sporting News]
