A three-run homer by Jerry Turner in the fourth inning carried the Padres to a 4-1 triumph over the Giants, who suffered their 12th loss in the last 14 games. A double by Ozzie Smith and single by Barry Evans preceded Turner's blast. Bob Owchinko pitched the first seven innings and Rollie Fingers came on to record his 35th save, moving within four saves of the major league record. [The Sporting News]
