. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although giving up nine hits and walking six, Jim Lonborg struggled through his first complete game for the Red Sox this season and beat the Angels, 4-1. Clyde Wright, pitching for the Angels, yielded only one hit in eight innings but was the loser when the Red Sox scored two unearned runs in the second on a walk, an error, a passed ball and a single by Lonborg. The Red Sox added their other pair off Dave LaRoche in the ninth on a single by John Kennedy and homer by Carl Yastrzemski. [The Sporting News]
