. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Embarked on the club's longest winning streak since taking 13 in a row in 1965, the Dodgers posted their 10th straight victory, defeating the Cubs, 9-6. Henry Cruz drove in three runs with a homer and triple, while Ron Cey accounted for two with a homer. The Dodgers' best news came with the reappearance of Davey Lopes, who played in his first game this season and knocked in a run with a single in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
