. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tim Johnson singled in the 10th inning for his third hit of the game and drove in a run to enable Jerry Augustine to pitch the Brewers to a 1-0 victory over the Rangers. The shutout was the third of the year for Augustine, who allowed five hits.

Nelson Briles started for the Rangers and pitched eight innings before blisters on finger forced his departure in favor of Steve Foucault. Darrell Porter singled off the reliever in the 10th and, after a sacrifice by Gorman Thomas, Johnson drove in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
