. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Gaylord Perry gained his first victory since June 25 and Tom Timmerman, coming out of the bullpen for only his second start of the season, pitched a four-hitter as the Indians defeated the Red Sox in a doubleheader, 8-2 and 6-2. Perry broke his personal six-game losing streak with a seven-hit performance in the lidlifter. Frank Duffy drove in all three of the Indians' runs with a pair of singles.

Buddy Bell and John Ellis each batted in two tallies in support of Timmerman in the nightcap. Bell had three hits in three trips, including a homer. [The Sporting News]
