The Giants ended San Diego's six-game winning streak by rapping the Padres, 9-1, as Vida Blue picked up his fifth straight victory. Jack Clark clouted a pinch-hit grand-slam homer in the seventh inning and Willie McCovey smacked his 499th career round-tripper in the eighth. Gaylord Perry, seeking his seventh consecutive victory, was rapped for 13 hits in 6 1/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
