. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Three-hit pitching by John Montefusco and a homer by Bill Madlock, his first with the Giants, featured a 3-1 victory over the Padres. After Madlock rapped his round-tripper in the fourth inning, the Padres tied the score in the fifth with a double by Doug Rader and single by Rick Sawyer. The Giants broke away with two runs in the sixth on singles by Madlock and Darrell Evans, a sacrifice fly by Willie McCovey and single by Johnnie LeMaster. [The Sporting News]
