. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tom Seaver's string of six straight victories this year and 16 in a row over two seasons came to an end when the Expos defeated the Mets, 3-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Dan McGinn. Seaver allowed eight hits and was doomed to defeat when Jim Fairey smashed a homer in the second inning. [The Sporting News]
