Aided by San Diego errors, the Reds shaded the Padres, 3-2. The Reds scored twice in the fifth inning when Ken Griffey and Dave Concepcion drew two-out walks, George Foster hit an RBI single and Padres third baseman Tim Flannery let the throw from the outfield get past him for an error, scoring Concepcion. The Reds' final run came in the seventh when Padres catcher Terry Kennedy dropped a throw from the outfield. [The Sporting News]
