Saturday June 10, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dave Winfield smashed a pair of three-run homers to help power the Padres to a 10-8 victory over the Cubs. After Winfield's first wallop in the first inning and a solo swat by Oscar Gamble in the third, the Cubs took a 7-4 lead with the aid of two-run homers by Larry Biittner and Dave Kingman.

The Padres retaliated with a four-run outburst in the sixth. After singles by Bill Almon, Fernando Gonzalez and Gene Richards produced one run, Winfield hit his second three-run homer of the game. [The Sporting News]
