. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although the Giants smashed four homers, the Padres were able to gain a 7-4 victory. Willie McCovey hit two round-trippers and Ken Henderson and George Foster rapped one apiece. Foster's homer was the first of his major league career. On the Padres' side, Dave Robinson also hit his first homer in the big leagues. Rafael Robles, who had two singles, and Robinson, who hit a single in addition to his homer, each drove in two runs. [The Sporting News]
