. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tom Bradley, who has had more success than any other pitcher in handcuffing the Athletics, shut them out for the third time this season as the White Sox gained a 3-0 victory. Bradley yielded only four singles.

Vida Blue started for the A's and pitched five scoreless innings. Jim Roland relieved and drew the defeat when Rick Reichardt homered in the seventh. The White Sox added their other runs off Mudcat Grant in the eighth on singles by Bradley, Rich McKinney and Bill Melton, plus a sacrifice fly by Lee Richard. [The Sporting News]
