. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Collecting 13 hits off four pitchers, the Dodgers trampled the Padres, 10-2. Eric Rasmussen, making his first start for the Padres after being acquired from the Cardinals, lasted only 1 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits.

Steve Garvey blasted a two-run homer in the first and Lee Lacy hit a leadoff homer in the second. Vic Davalillo drove in three runs with a pair of singles and an infield out. [The Sporting News]
