Wednesday June 7, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

In the completion of the game suspended the previous night because of a power failure, the Expos posted a 4-0 victory over the Padres as Wayne Twitchell and Bill Atkinson combined on a four-hitter and Tony Perez belted a homer.

In the regularly-scheduled game, Ross Grimsley became the first pitcher in the majors to gain 10 wins and Larry Parrish drove in four runs with a double and homer in the Expos' 8-3 romp. Parrish doubled a run across in the fourth inning to tie the score at 2-2 and delivered a three-run homer in the seventh. Perez also drove in a pair of runs with a two-base hit. [The Sporting News]
