. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Lynn McGlothen drove in three runs with a single and double and allowed only four hits while pitching the Cardinals to a 6-1 victory over the Expos. Keith Hernandez, Garry Templeton and Lou Brock shared the spotlight with McGlothen. Hernandez rapped three hits and Templeton smashed his first major league homer. Brock stole his 50th base of the season, extending his own major league record to 12 straight years with 50 or more thefts. [The Sporting News]
