Homecoming Sweet for Ozzie Smith in Padres Loss
Ozzie Smith’s first Padres homecoming with the St. Louis Cardinals delighted San Diego fans with stellar defense while Gene Tenace provided the offense in a 2-0 win. Bob Forsch pitched a complete game, the first of the year, as the Cardinals blanked the Padres behind Smith’s glove and Tenace’s seventh inning homer. Smith doubled in four at bats and made key plays including a diving fifth inning grab that erased a Padres threat. Tenace’s homer came on a 3-2 pitch from John Curtis, the only scoring in the game.
