. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run double by Steve Garvey highlighted a three-run outburst in the fifth inning that carried the Dodgers to a 4-2 triumph over the Padres. The Dodgers trailed, 2-1, entering the fifth but surged ahead on singles by Gary Thomasson and Bill Russell, Garvey's two-bagger and a single by Dusty Baker. The Dodgers scored their first run in the fourth on Baker's triple and an infield out by Derrel Thomas. Burt Hooton won for the first time since May 7. [The Sporting News]
