. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Claiming his first victory since April 26, the Yankees' Pat Dobson shut out the Royals on six hits, 6-0. New York got to loser Paul Splittorff for two runs in the first on a walk, the first of four hits by Roy White -- a double -- and single by Thurman Munson. Chris Chambliss' single and a triple by Graig Nettles were run-producing hits in the sixth. White tripled home the fifth run in the seventh and Nettles closed out the scoring with a solo homer in the following frame. [The Sporting News]
