. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Von Joshua, Willie Montanez and Johnnie LeMaster hit homers and Ed Halicki struck out 12 batters as the Giants defeated the Dodgers, 7-3. Chris Speier pulled a leg muscle running out an infield roller in the second inning. LeMaster, who had just arrived from Phoenix (Pacific Coast), made his major league debut as Speier's substitute and, batting for the first time in the fourth inning, hit an inside-the-park blow for his homer.
