June 24: San Diego’s bottom of the first began with a Bip Roberts RBI single and a Roberto Alomar RBI double, but that would be it for the Padres. The Giants would get a sacrifice fly from Robby Thompson and an RBI double by Will Clark in the third inning for their only runs. Giant pitchers stranded Padre runners in scoring position in five different innings.
