With customary relief help from Rollie Fingers, Gaylord Perry got credit for his 21st victory of the season as the Padres prevailed over the Giants, 4-1. The Padres scored on a triple by Gene Richards and infield out by Ozzie Smith in the first inning and added another in the third on a second triple by Richards and another groundout by Smith. A two-run homer by Broderick Perkins iced the game in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
