. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies, getting homers from Greg Luzinski and Mike Schmidt and benefiting from loose infield play, routed Milt Pappas early in the game and went on to an 8-2 victory over the Cubs behind Jim Lonborg, who won his fourth straight starting assignment. Rick Monday accounted for both Cub tallies with his 19th and 20th homers, reaching a career high for a season. His best previous performance was 18 in 1971 with Oakland. [The Sporting News]
