Sunday May 22, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Expos ended their 11-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Padres behind the six-hit, 11-strikeout pitching of Steve Rogers. John D'Acquisto, making his first start for the Padres since being obtained from the Cardinals, allowed only four hits in seven innings but was a victim of his own wildness.

The Expos scored two runs in the first inning on only one hit, a leadoff single by Dave Cash. Warren Cromartie walked. After a wild pitch, Cash scored on an infield out by Wayne Garrett. Another wild pitch then allowed Cromartie to cross the plate. Pete Mackanin scored the Expos' last run in the seventh on D'Acquisto's fourth wild pitch of the game. [The Sporting News]
