. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scoring early and often, the Padres routed the Cubs, 11-3, behind the six-hit pitching of Eric Rasmussen. The Padres tallied three times in the first inning. Ozzie Smith reached first on an error by Cub shortstop Ivan DeJesus and scored on a triple by Dave Winfield.

A single by Jerry Turner plated Winfield and a double by Gene Tenace and an intentional walk to Dan Briggs loaded the bases before Turner scored on a groundout by Barry Evans. The Padres picked up four more markers in the third frame, the runs coming in on a grounder by Briggs, single by Evans, double by Bill Almon and Cub second baseman Ted Sizemore's error on a pop fly.
