. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Erupting for four runs in the first inning, the Expos went on to an 8-4 triumph over the Dodgers. In the Expos' first turn at bat, Warren Cromartie singled, extending his hitting streak to equal the club record of 18 games, and scored on a double by Tony Perez.

A double by Gary Carter delivered Perez and Ellis Valentine followed with a triple. A double by Larry Parrish capped the rally. Andre Dawson clouted a two-run homer in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
