. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Mike Ivie homered with two men on base in the eighth inning to cap a four-run outburst that brought the Padres a 4-1 victory over the Dodgers. The Padres touched Don Sutton for their first run on singles by Johnny Grubb, Jerry Turner and Bobby Valentine before Ivie smashed his homer. Until the Padres erupted, Sutton had pitched 23 consecutive scoreless innings. [The Sporting News]
