. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rico Petrocelli collected the ninth grand slam of his career and Luis Tiant made his 12th complete-game pitching effort of the season as the Red Sox blanked the Brewers, 9-0. Petrocelli's slam came in the fifth off loser Jim Colborn after a single by Dick McAuliffe, double by Carl Yastrzemski and intentional pass to Carlton Fisk, and gave the Sox a 6-0 lead.

Boston scored two in the first when Tommy Harper walked, McAuliffe tripled and came home on a throwing error. Brewer reliever Eduardo Rodriguez walked the bases loaded in the seventh on 12 pitches, and Boston added their final three runs on Mario Guerrero's sacrifice fly, a walk and Bernie Carbo's single. Tiant struck out 10 in posting his 10th victory. [The Sporting News]
