. . . where the 1970s live forever!

In the first complete game of his major league career, Chris Zachary allowed only two hits and pitched the Cardinals to a 10-0 victory over the Cubs. The Cardinals tagged Fergie Jenkins for five runs in the first two innings and then kayoed the Cubs' ace while adding two more in the seventh. Lou Brock, hitting safely in his 23rd straight game, rapped three singles and drove in three runs. [The Sporting News]
