. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Four RBIs by Jerry Martin and three by Garry Maddox led the attack as the Phillies thumped the Padres, 9-5. Martin slugged a homer in the first inning, delivered a sacrifice fly in the second and lined a two-run triple in the fifth. Maddox singled a run home in the third and two more in the fifth.

Jose Cardenal stole home for the Phillies, marking the first time in eight seasons that a Phillie player had accomplished that feat. [The Sporting News]
