. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Padres committed six errors to tie the San Diego club record while losing to the Expos, 7-6. Only two of the Expos' runs were unearned, but that was enough to decide the outcome. Tony Perez and Del Unser hit homers for the Expos, while Dave Winfield and Gene Tenace rapped round-trippers for the Padres, each with a man on base. Tenace accounted for a third RBI with a double.
