. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Home runs by Lee Lacy and Joe Ferguson powered the Dodgers to a 3-1 decision over the Padres. Ferguson's blow was a solo shot in the second inning and Lacy's clout came with two out in the fourth frame after a single by Dusty Baker. The win moved the Dodgers within two games of first place in the N.L. West. [The Sporting News]
