. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Padres snapped their seven-game losing streak when Cito Gaston smashed two homers and Nate Colbert hit one to beat the Braves, 3-2. Gaston connected for the first time in the first inning. After a circuit clout by Mike Lum helped the Braves go ahead, Gaston and Colbert homered off Pat Jarvis on successive pitches in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
