. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hitting his first homer since May 24, Tony Horton connected with two men on base in the eighth inning to give the Indians their fifth straight victory with a 6-3 decision over the Senators. Graig Nettles and Ray Fosse homered earlier in the game for the Indians, while the Senators had a round-tripper by Aurelio Rodriguez.

With the score tied, 3-3, Fosse singled in the eighth and Nettles walked. Dick Such then replaced Jim Shellenback and on his first pitch, Horton hammered his homer. [The Sporting News]
