Chris Welsh recorded his first major league shutout as the Padres defeated the Mets, 5-0. The rookie southpaw did not permit a runner beyond second base as the Padres blanked the Mets for the second straight night.

The Padres took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on singles by Broderick Perkins and Joe Lefebvre and a throwing error by New York catcher Alex Trevino, and added another tally in the fifth on a run-scoring single by Terry Kennedy. San Diego iced the game with a three-run sixth on an RBI single by Juan Bonilla and two-run double by Ruppert Jones. [The Sporting News]
