. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Deron Johnson, who went into the game with a batting average of only .178, smashed a homer and double and drove in three runs to enable Vida Blue to pitch the Athletics to a 4-1 victory over the Brewers. Joe Rudi singled in the second inning, Pedro Garcia dropped a foul fly by Johnson for an error and, given new life at the plate, Johnson whacked his homer. Garcia drew a second error, dropping a high pop-up by Angel Mangual, who reached second base and scored on a single by Dick Green. A walk to Rudi and double by Johnson added the A's final run in the fifth before the Brewers picked up their only tally off Blue on a single by Rob Ellis and double by Garcia in the seventh.
