. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The first Reds' pitcher to last the route this season, Pat Zachry scattered seven hits and defeated the Padres, 4-1. The victory was Zachry's fifth of his career without a loss in meetings with the Padres. A single by Pete Rose, two errors and a single by George Foster resulted in three runs for the Reds in the first inning and sewed up the decision for Zachry. [The Sporting News]
