. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Starting with a homer by Terry Puhl on Gaylord Perry's first pitch of the game, the Astros went on to defeat the Padres, 4-1. The Astros added a pair in the fourth on a bases-loaded double by Rafael Landestoy and capped their scoring with a run in the fifth on singles by Craig Reynolds and Cesar Cedeno and an infield out by Jose Cruz. Dave Winfield accounted for the Padres' marker off Joaquin Andujar in the fourth inning, hitting his 15th homer. [The Sporting News]
