. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The first grand slam of Larry Parrish's career helped the Expos overcome the Dodgers, 10-9, for their fifth straight victory. The Dodgers counted twice on a homer by Reggie Smith in the first inning and made it 5-0 with three runs on one hit and three errors in the third.

The Expos, after rallying for four runs in their half of the third, exploded against Tommy John and Bobby Castillo for six runs in the fourth. Warren Cromartie was hit by a pitch and scored on a double by Tony Perez. Ellis Valentine walked and Gary Carter singled Perez home, leading to the exit of John. Castillo passed Andre Dawson intentionally to load the bases before Parrish came to the plate and hit his grand slam. [The Sporting News]
