Saturday June 3, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Davey Johnson became the first pinch-hitter in major league history to deliver two grand slams in one season when he came off the bench in the ninth inning and hit a bases-loaded homer to lift the Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers. Bob Boone homered for the Phils' initial run in the fifth and the Dodgers tied the score with a walk to Bill North, a wild pickoff throw by Larry Christenson, bunt by Bill Russell and sacrifice fly by Reggie Smith in the sixth.

Don Sutton, who started for the Dodgers, became the club's all-time leader in innings pitched with a total of 3,119 before going out for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. With Terry Forster on the mound for the Dodgers, Garry Maddox opened the Phillies' ninth with a single and reached third on a wild pickoff throw. The Dodgers then passed both Greg Luzinski and Jerry Martin intentionally to load the bases and set the stage for Johnson's homer. He had hit his first slam as a pinch-hitter against the Padres April 30. [The Sporting News]
