. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Appearing in his fifth game since returning to action, Tito Fuentes drove in three runs for his first RBIs of the season to help the Giants defeat the Braves, 8-7. After falling behind, 2-0, the Giants erupted for six runs on six hits and two errors in the sixth inning. Fuentes capped the outburst with a two-run double. The Braves came back with a run in the seventh, but Fuentes accounted for his third RBI with a single in the eighth and another run, which proved decisive, scored on an error by Ralph Garr.
