Tuesday May 25, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

David Palmer, making his first big league start since 1980, gave up only two hits in six innings and Andre Dawson drove in four runs with two homers and a double to lead the Expos to their fifth straight victory, 6-1 over the Astros. Montreal took the lead in the second inning on a two-run homer by Gary Carter. Dawson homered in the third and eighth and cracked a two-run double in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
