The six-hit pitching of Juan Eichelberger enabled the Padres to breeze to a 6-1 triumph over the Reds. The Padres scored twice in the second inning on doubles by Ruppert Jones, Broderick Perkins and Joe Lefebvre and picked up another pair of runs in the third frame on singles by Ozzie Smith, Juan Bonilla, Gene Richards and Terry Kennedy. Perkins delivered run-scoring singles in the sixth and seventh innings. [The Sporting News]
