Monday May 31, 1976
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A three-run homer by Dave Winfield capped a six-run outburst in the eighth inning that carried the Padres to a 10-7 triumph over the Braves. Two walks, an error by Marty Perez, singles by Ted Kubiak and Willie McCovey and Luis Melendez' sacrifice fly combined to send the Braves to their fourth straight defeat. [The Sporting News]
