. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Allowing only singles by Mike Tyson in the third and Bake McBride in the eighth, Jim Lonborg cruised to his 15th victory for the Phillies with a 2-0 blanking of the Cardinals. Philadelphia touched John Curtis for the only run it needed in the second when Greg Luzinski walked, took second on a passed ball and scored on Jerry Martin's single in his first major league at-bat. A double by Mike Schmidt and single by Mike Anderson produced an insurance run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
