. . . where the 1970s live forever!

While Steve Renko was holding his former teammates to five hits, Bill Madlock and Steve Swisher batted in two runs apiece to lead the Cubs to a 7-1 victory over the Expos. The Cubs started with a gift run in the first inning on a pass to Manny Trillo with the bases loaded. Madlock accounted for his two RBIs with a double in the second. Swisher homered with a man on base in the sixth when the Cubs put the game away with a four-run outburst. [The Sporting News]
