. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Appearing in the starting lineup for the first time this season, Mike Easler cracked two homers and drove in four runs as the Pirates defeated the Expos, 5-3. The Pirates scored four times in their first turn at bat. Omar Moreno tripled and scored on a single by Tim Foli. After Dave Parker singled, Easler blasted a round-tripper. The left fielder later connected for a solo clout in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
