I5 Series Ends in Splitsville for Dodgers and Padres

San Diego,

Game 1,
Pete Guerrero smacked his 14th dinger of the tournament as he led the Dodgers over the Friar squad.  Burt Hooton improves to 5-2 with six innings of solid pitching. Tom Neidenfuer pitched a couple innings of lights out relief work. Jay Howell nailed down the 9th inning for his 7th save. The loss went to Ed Whitson (2-5).
Dodgers 5....Padres 3.

Game 2,

Padre batters battered the Dodgers relief corps as they struck for eight runs in the final three innings to earn a come from behind win.  San Diego was trailing 7-4 heading into the ninth inning but struck for four runs to win it in walkoff fashion.  Steve Garvey connected for a game winning 3-run homer off reliever Jay Howell to send the San Diego fans happy.  Padres 8...Dodgers 7.

Los Angeles,

Game 3,
Steve Garvey was the star again but this time for his other team. Garvey hit his sixth homerun and drove in 3 runs in support of Tim Belcher-who won his 3rd game of the season.  Padre lefty hurler, Dave Dravecky fell to 1-6 despite decent pitching. Dodgers 5...Padres 2.

Game 4,
Randy Ready came in for an injured Luis Salazar and went 3 for 3 with an RBI to help the Padres to a victory.  Mark Thurmond won his first game of the season to improve his record at 1-3. The crafty lefty went 6 innings allowing only one run on six hits. The Padre bullpen did the rest.  Goose Goosage came in the ninth with 2 Dodgers on base but was able to retire Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and struck out Steve Garvey with runners on second and third to end the game.  Steve Howe sinks to 0-3 and Goose recorded his 5th save. Padres 5...Dodgers 4.
