. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Knocking home three runs with a pair of singles, Dave Winfield led the Padres to a 5-4 victory over the Astros. The Padres took a 4-3 lead in the fourth inning on a two-run single by Winfield, and he stroked a run-scoring single in the sixth frame to produce an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
