The Padres' club record 10-game winning streak and Eric Rasmussen's personal string of eight straight victories both came to an end with a 7-1 loss to the Reds, who had a homer by Dan Driessen and five other extra-base hits in their attack. Mike LaCoss, who held the Padres to four hits, gained his third victory in four decisions since being recalled from Indianapolis (American Association) July 17. [The Sporting News]
