Tuesday April 13, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scoring five runs in their first two times at bat, the Dodgers outlasted the Astros, 9-5. Los Angeles picked up three tallies in the opening frame on an RBI single by Steve Garvey, sacrifice fly by Ron Cey and run-scoring single by Steve Yeager. Dusty Baker clouted a two-run homer in the second. Bob Welch, although needing relief, received credit for his second victory of the season. [The Sporting News]
