Consecutive homers by Joe Morgan and George Foster with two out in the seventh inning carried the Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Padres. Morgan's blow came off Bob Owchinko and brought Rollie Fingers to the mound for the Padres. Foster smashed the reliever's first pitch for the game-winning drive. The homer was the first given up by Fingers this season. [The Sporting News]
