. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Chuck Dobson, who was sidelined for almost the entire first month of the season before stepping into the Athletics' rotation, gained his fourth straight victory, defeating the Red Sox, 6-1. Dobson also drove in two runs with a double and single.

Sal Bando and Dick Green hit homers in the A's attack. Dobson did not yield a hit until two out in the fifth inning when Billy Conigliaro homered for the Bosox' run. [The Sporting News]
