. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Vida Blue raised his lifetime record to 8-0 against San Diego as he combined with Gary Lavelle for a seven-hit shutout and Enos Cabell drove in three runs in the 9-0 Giants' victory over the Padres. Consecutive singles by Milt May and Johnny LeMaster, a sacrifice by Blue and two-run single by Cabell gave the Giants two runs in the fifth. Cabell also stroked a run-scoring single in the seventh, before San Francisco's six-run explosion in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
