. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Blue Moon Odom, making his first start for the White Sox since combining with Francisco Barrios in pitching a no-hitter at Oakland July 28, was the victim of revenge, losing to the Athletics, 7-3. Odom lasted only 2 2/3 innings and gave up six hits and four runs. The Athletics went on to pile up a total of 13 hits with Bill North and Joe Rudi rapping three apiece. [The Sporting News]
