. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Despite scoring in double figures for the first time this season, the Pirates lost to the Giants, 13-11. There were 35 hits in the game, 20 by the Pirates, but no homers. The Giants erupted for five runs in the fifth inning to take a 10-4 lead, but needed three more in the eighth to emerge with their victory. Dick Dietz singled one run across for his third RBI of the game and Tito Fuentes followed with a two-run single for what proved to be the deciding hit. [The Sporting News]
