Friday May 22, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Ken Henderson hit a grand-slam homer in the eighth inning to clinch the Giants' 9-4 victory over the Padres. Two passed balls by Dick Dietz led to a pair of unearned runs for the Padres in the first inning, but the catcher later got those runs back by hitting a homer with a man on base in the fifth.

Bobby Bonds walked with two out in the eighth and stole second. Ron Hunt was hit by a pitch and pulled a double steal with Bonds. The Padres then walked Willie McCovey intentionally, setting the stage for Henderson's homer off Tom Dukes. [The Sporting News]
