. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Raking five Montreal pitchers for 21 hits -- the most in the league this season -- the Dodgers romped over the Expos, 11-4, routing Ross Grimsley in 1 1/3 innings on six hits and six runs. Ron Cey drove in four runs -- three on an eighth-inning homer -- and Steve Garvey drove in two tallies in the first and second innings.

Tony Perez got his 2,000th career hit. The crowd of 48,389 was the largest at Olympic Stadium this year. [The Sporting News]
