An unearned run accounted for the only tally of the game as the Pirates edged the Padres, 1-0, in a duel between rookie righthander Don Robinson and Randy Jones. Frank Taveras drew a walk to open the Pirates' sixth. Omar Moreno then hit a grounder to first baseman Gene Richards, whose throw to second for an attempted forceout hit Taveras in the back for an error. Taveras reached third on the play and scored when Dave Parker hit a slow roller to short. [The Sporting News]
