Monday September 12, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Dodgers outmuscled the Padres, 7-6, and moved closer to clinching the National League West title. Ron Cey's two-run homer in the 10th inning decided the issue. Dusty Baker hit a grand-slam homer, his first in the major leagues, to highlight the Dodgers' five-run uprising in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
