. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Leading off the ninth inning, Mike Jorgensen smashed a homer to give the Expos a 3-2 victory over the Giants. The Expos took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a walk to Pepe Mangual, single by Tim Foli and infield out by Rich Coggins. A triple by Pete Mackanin and sacrifice fly by Steve Rogers added a run in the fifth, but the Giants struck for the tying pair in the ninth when Dave Rader walked and Glenn Adams homered as a pinch-hitter for Jim Barr. Dan Warthen, who replaced Rogers and retired one batter to end the Giants' inning, then gained his first major league victory on Jorgensen's homer. [The Sporting News]
