. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Making a pressure-packed debut with the Reds, Tom Seaver pitched a three-hitter and also batted in two runs in a 6-0 victory over the Expos. The Reds, who extended their winning streak to seven games, scored a run in the first inning on a pass to Pete Rose, single by Ken Griffey and sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. George Foster homered in the fourth. The Reds wrapped up the decision with four runs in the eighth, two scoring on Seaver's second single of the game. [The Sporting News]
