. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dave Giusti, making his first start since May 17, 1970, after 255 consecutive relief appearances, pitched seven innings and allowed only five hits as the Pirates defeated the Dodgers, 2-0. Bruce Kison relieved in the eighth, but the Pirates also had to call on Daryl Patterson in the ninth to put down a Dodger threat.

The Pirates, in defeating Tommy John, scored a run in the second inning on a single by Richie Zisk and double by Bob Robertson. Their other run came off Mike Marshall in the eighth on a single by Kison, sacrifice by Rennie Stennett and single by Gene Clines. [The Sporting News]
