. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Cracking three hits apiece, Bill Russell and Steve Garvey paced the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over the Padres. Russell keyed a two-run third inning when he singled in Johnny Oates, stole second and came around on singles by Garvey and Ron Cey. Russell also scored the Dodgers' third run when he tripled and crossed the plate on an infield hit by Garvey in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
