. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Padres, who had given up 80 hits and 52 runs while losing their first six games of the season, got six-hit pitching from Steve Arlin and Vicente Romo to defeat the Giants, 3-2. The Giants stepped off to a 2-0 lead, but the Padres pulled even in the fifth inning when Fred Kendall and Dave Roberts singled, Enzo Hernandez sacrificed and Bobby Tolan singled. Johnny Grubb singled in the seventh, moved up on a bunt by Kendall and scored the winning run on a single by Roberts. [The Sporting News]
