Wednesday June 4, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A four-run third inning enabled the Reds to overcome a 2-1 deficit and beat the Dodgers, 5-4. Dave Collins opened the big inning with a walk and stole second base. Ken Griffey tied the game with a run-scoring single. George Foster drew a walk before Ray Knight, who was 3-for-3, capped the outburst with a two-out homer.

Paul Moskau replaced starter Charlie Leibrandt on the mound in the fourth for the Reds and got the victory, raising his record to 4-0. With a crowd of 45,541, the Dodgers became the first team to go over the one million mark in paid attendance in 1980. [The Sporting News]
