. . . where the 1970s live forever!

As native of the St. Louis area, Sonny Siebert continued to be unbeatable at home, gaining his fifth straight victory at Busch Stadium when the Cardinals defeated the Expos, 5-1. The Cardinals held a slim 2-1 lead before breaking away with three runs in the seventh on five straight singles by Mike Tyson, Jim Dwyer, Lou Brock, Ted Sizemore and Ted Simmons. Dwyer batted for Siebert. Al Hrabosky and Orlando Pena finished on the mound for the Cardinals. [The Sporting News]
