Wednesday July 22, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Pinch-hitter Tom Haller smashed a grand-slam homer as the Dodgers exploded for eight runs in the seventh inning in their biggest single outburst of the season to outslug the Expos, 12-10. Bob Bailey batted in five runs for the Expos with a homer and double. Ron Fairly hit a two-run homer in the seventh when the Expos took a 10-4 lead.

Maury Wills and Ted Sizemore singled in the Dodgers' seventh but two were out when Wes Parker walked to load the bases. Jim Lefebvre followed with a single, driving in two runs, and Steve Garvey singled another run home to chase Bill Stoneman. Claude Raymond, in relief, passed Willie Crawford to load the bases before Haller smashed his grand slam. Von Joshua added the final run with the first homer of his major league career.
