Al Holland, making his first big league start after 103 relief appearances, allowed just five hits in eight innings as the Giants blanked the Padres, 3-0. The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Enos Cabell scored as Milt May grounded into a double play. Dave Bergman drilled a solo homer in the seventh and Larry Herndon bounced into an RBI forceout in the ninth. Greg Minton recorded his 18th save. [The Sporting News]
