Friday May 1, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Carl Yastrzemski, who hit only one homer in the first 19 games played by the Red Sox this season, smashed two for the circuit to help beat the Angels, 8-3. Yastrzemski started his slugging after Reggie Smith singled in the first inning and added his other drive with the bases empty in the fifth. George Scott and Smith also contributed round-trippers to the Red Sox, who won their fifth game in a row. [The Sporting News]
