. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A four-run outburst in the seventh inning gave the Pirates a 5-1 victory over the Padres, who went down to their seventh straight defeat and 15th in the last 17 games. Gene Alley singled, Dave Cash was safe on an error and Gene Clines singled to break a 1-1 tie.

When Larry Stahl's throw on Clines' hit bounced into the Pirates' dugout, Cash also scored. Richie Hebner then tripled and Willie Stargell hit a sacrifice fly for two more runs. [The Sporting News]
