Show Wins His 100th for Padres

The Padres finished the season the way it began, against the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium, but this time, a nearly forgotten pitcher--Eric Show--came up with a milestone victory.

The Padres punched out for 1990 with a 7-3 victory in front of 29,930, and Show became the first pitcher in Padre history to reach 100 victories.

Show (6-8) pitched five innings and allowed three runs and seven hits. It was his first start since Aug. 7.

He began the season with one comeback--from a back injury--and ended it with another. But Show is attempting these days to he can still be a starting pitcher. Chances are that he will not return to the Padres in 1991.

“It was my last chance, basically,” he said. “It could be my last chance at a win in a Padre uniform, and it was on the last day of the season. It’s storybook, in a way.”

Show’s wasn’t the only memory on this final night:

--The Padres tied a franchise record with four home runs--all against Dodger starter Dennis Cook (9-4). Darrin Jackson, Jerald Clark and Mike Pagliarulo each hit a homer in the third to give the Padres an early 3-0 lead, and Mark Parent added another in the sixth. Cook was removed two batters into the sixth and was charged with five runs and 10 hits.

--Jackson got a career-high four hits--three singles and the homer.

--Rich Rodriguez recorded his first major league save.

--Eddie Murray said goodby with two hits in three at-bats, finishing the season second in the NL to Willie McGee (.335) with a .3297 batting average. Entering the game, Murray was third at .327, but he surpassed New York’s Dave Magadan (.327) Wednesday.

Murray left the game for a pinch-runner after his second hit, a looping, run-scoring single to left in the fifth. He jogged off the field, disappeared into the Dodger dugout to chants of “Ed-die!, Ed-die!” . . . and Alfredo Griffin and Mike Sharperson darted out to take Murray’s curtain calls.

“That was a great accomplishment for Eddie,” Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda said. “I’m really happy for him. He had a hell of a year for us. He’s been a joy.”

--Dodger third baseman Dave Hansen got his first major league hit, a run-scoring single to center in a two-run Dodger fifth.

Padre Notes

Padre first baseman Jack Clark said he will be in New York Saturday to testify before arbiter Judge George Nicolau in the Players’ Assn.’s ongoing collusion case against the owners. . . . Rookie initiation: Several Padres taped up pitcher Rich Rodriguez before Wednesday’s game, taped an ice cream cone to his head and left him in the Padres’ on-deck circle. Rodriguez laughed throughout.
