. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A three-run outburst in the eighth inning carried the Padres to a 6-3 decision over the Braves. The game was tied, 3-3, when Ruppert Jones drilled a two-out two-bagger and Terry Kennedy followed with a run-scoring single. San Diego added two more tallies later in the frame on an RBI single by Luis Salazar and a throwing error by Atlanta center fielder Brett Butler. Eric Show, pitching the final two innings, picked up his first major league victory. [The Sporting News]
