. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Mike Anderson drove in four runs and Willie Montanez knocked in two with a double and homer as the Phillies defeated the Expos, 6-3, and spoiled the Expos' home opener before 21,274 under cloudy skies with a temperature of 52 degrees. The Expos started fast, getting three runs in the first inning on a wild pitch, Gary Carter's sacrifice fly and Larry Parrish's double.

Anderson's two-run circuit smash tied the score in second and Montanez put the Phils ahead to stay with a solo homer in the fifth. The Phils got another tally that inning on Greg Luzinski's single, Mike Schmidt's double, an intentional walk and Anderson's infield out. Their final run in the ninth came on singles by Luzinski, Bob Boone and Anderson. [The Sporting News]
