. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rick Rhoden, who broke a scoreless tie with a double in the fifth inning, allowed only three hits and pitched the Dodgers to a 5-0 victory over the Reds before a crowd of 52,469. Rhoden's double was his second hit of the year and his first extra-bases blow drove in Steve Yeager, who had walked. Joe Ferguson hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
