. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bruce Dal Canton, subbing for scheduled starter Paul Splittorff, who developed muscle spasms in his back, hurled his first major league shutout as the Royals stymied the White Sox, 9-0. Giving up only one hit after the third inning, Dal Canton benefited from a 14-hit K.C. attack which included a two-run homers by Hal McRae in the fifth and Cookie Rojas in the sixth and a solo shot by Fred Patek leading off the four-run Royal fifth during which Kansas City chased White Sox starter and loser Stan Bahnsen. Rojas had a four-hit night, driving home the game's first two runs with a single in the second. [The Sporting News]
