. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although allowing only three hits in six innings of pitching, Steve Arlin was a hard-luck loser when the Cubs defeated the Padres, 3-2. The Cubs counted twice in the first inning without the benefit of a hit on two walks, an error, another pass and a forceout. Ron Santo then decided the outcome of the game by smashing a homer off Arlin in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
