. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Joe Morgan hit the second grand-slam homer of his major league career and also drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to lead the Reds' slugging in an 11-2 victory over the Expos. Four walks forced in one run in the sixth inning before Morgan connected for his slam. Doug Flynn joined in the Reds' attack with a two-run homer, while Pete Mackanin and Andre Thornton homered for the Expos. [The Sporting News]
