. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tommy John extended his personal winning streak to four games by pitching the White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. Mickey Lolich, who started for the Tigers, was the hard-luck loser on an unearned run in the sixth inning. After Lolich was lifted for a pinch-hitter, the White Sox added their remaining tallies at the expense of reliever Tom Timmerman. [The Sporting News]
