Game 1
Gaylord Perry and Burt Hooten pitch well and the only runs scored were in the 8th when the Padres put up 3 on a 2 out bunt single by Ozzie Smith, a Mike Hargrove double and IBB to Dave Winfield, a Hooten wild pitch and a Jerry Turner 2 run single. Padres win 3-0.
Game 2
It's Randy Jones for SD and Don Sutton for LA. The Padres score one in the 2nd on a Barry Evans double and 2 more in the 4th on a Fernando Gonzalez single and a Fred Kendall SF to take a 3-0 lead. The Dodgers got one back in the 4th off a SF by Steve Garvey and then scored 3 in the 7th on an error and two bases loaded walks to take the lead. Bob Welch came on to pitch 2 scoreless innings for the save. Dodgers win 4-3
Game 3
Eric Rasmussen and Andy Messersmith paired off in game 3 and Messersmith never found his rythem. After the Dodgers gave him a 1-0 lead in the first Messersmith gave up 2 runs in the 2nd and 3rd and one more in the 4th before being lifted for Jerry Reuss who also gave up a run in the 4th to give San Diego a 6-1 lead after 4. Winfield's 2 run HR in the 3rd went 435 feet and got out of the ballpark in a hurry. Los Angeles got single runs in the 6th (a Garvey HR) and the 8th (a Garvey SF) but that was all the offense the Dodgers could muster. Padres win 6-3
Game 4
Bob Owchinko and Doug Rau met in the last game of the series and LA struck early as Garvey once again hurt the Padres pitching staff with a 2 run HR in the first giving him 6 RBI for the series. Rau held the Padres scoreless until the 6th when Turner hit a solo HR to cut the score in half. Then with 2 out and a runner on first Rau came undone as he made the cardinal sin of walking the opposing pitcher. San Diego followed that with a Richards single to load the bases and Ozzie Smith singled to center to score 2 runs to give the Padres the lead. Lance Rautzhan came on to try and get the last out of the inning and immediately tossed a wild pitch to score Richards and San Diego led 4-2. That 4th run proved big for the Padres as Dusty Baker hit a HR in the bottom of the 7th to bring the Dodgers within one but Steve Mura came on to get the last 6 outs. Padres win 4-3 and win series 3-1
