. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jack Billingham pitched hitless ball for the first four innings but then blew up in the fifth as the Giants erupted for six runs to defeat the Reds, 9-4. Bobby Murcer drew a walk to open the fifth before Darrell Evans homered for the Giants' first hit. A double by Dave Rader and triple by Gary Thomasson helped the Giants add four runs before the frame ended. [The Sporting News]
