. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies scored five runs in the fourth en route to a 10-4 victory over the Braves. Pete Rose, with a double and homer, increased his career hit total to 3,252 and moved past Nap Lajoie to eighth place on the all-time list. A two-run double by Greg Luzinski and two-run single by Steve Carlton spiced the fourth-inning outburst. [The Sporting News]
