. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Steve Garvey hit two homers and Jim Wynn walloped one as the Dodgers broke a tight game apart with 12 runs in the last three innings to wallop the Reds, 14-1. Garvey's first homer and Wynn's blow with two aboard produced four runs in the seventh. Five hits, including doubles by Davey Lopes and Bill Buckner, added four more runs in the eighth before the Dodgers wound up with their final four in the ninth, three coming on Garvey's second circuit clout. George Foster homered in the fourth inning for the Reds' only run. [The Sporting News]
