The Padres piled up 20 hits for their season high and trounced the Dodgers, 12-3. The loss spoiled manager Tommy Lasorda's 51st birthday. The Dodgers committed five errors. The Padres combined two of those errors with singles by Barry Evans, Dave Winfield, Jerry Turner and Gene Tenace to score three runs in the first inning. Then getting into the swing of things, the Padres sent 12 men to bat in the fifth inning and rolled up six runs. A momer by Winfield touched off the barrage. [The Sporting News]
