| A bases-loaded triple by Gene Tenace highlighted a seven-run third inning that carried the Padres to a 9-2 rout of the Braves. A sacrifice fly by Tim Flannery, double by Paul Dade and bases-loaded walk to Jerry Turner produced the first three markers of the inning and a single by Bill Fahey scored Tenace with the final run of the outburst. Bob Horner's 26th homer with a man on in the fourth was all the Braves could do with Bob Shirley, who went the route for the third time this season. [The Sporting News] |
