Hits and runs were hard to come by in this series -- and downright impossible for one team in one game.

The opener in Dodger Stadium turned on a three-run sixth inning highlighted by Ron Cey's bases-loaded double. Don Sutton went the distance for Los Angeles, scattering six hits. The Padres left five men in scoring position.

San Diego bounced back in the second game, scoring all six runs in the final three innings. Luis Urias doubled home two runs to put the Padres ahead in the seventh, and Hunter Renfroe homered in the eighth to drive in two more. Chris Paddock allowed two hits, one a homer by Von Joshua, in six innings.

The Padres won their first home game as well. Eric Laurer allowed one run in five innings, helped when Renfroe gunned down Manny Mota trying to score on a fly ball. Renfroe later tripled and scored. Wil Myers hit a two-run homer off Claude Osteen, and Eric Hosmer scored a pair of runs.

Tommy John threw a no-hitter in Game Four. He walked two and hit a batter but got a pair of double plays and faced one man over the minimum. Mota had the only RBI of the game with a third-inning double. The Dodgers scored one run on a two-out error and another on a passed ball.

The Dodgers and Sutton won Game Five as well. Steve Garvey hit his second homer and Bill Buckner doubled in a pair of runs. Sutton retired the first nine men he faced and shut out San Diego until Francisco Mejia homered in the eighth. He went eight innings and allowed four hits.

Davy Lopes hit a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of Game Six to wrap up the series. He also had a sac fly in the seventh to tie the score. Pete Richert threw two hitless innings to collect the win.

Player availability: The Dodgers have no injuries and the bullpen was barely used.

Projected rotation: Sutton-John-Messersmith-Osteen-(Sutton)-(John)-(Messersmith).
