. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Replacing Paul Splittorff with none out in the first, Marty Pattin pitched nine innings of scoreless relief and breezed home with the victory as the Royals defeated the Indians, 12-2. Splittorff gave up three hits and a walk, with the Indians' runs coming on a bases-loaded single by Rico Carty, before Pattin took over.

The Royals piled up a total of 18 hits, including a homer, two doubles and two singles by Joe Zdeb, who drove in four runs. Amos Otis had a homer, double and single for three RBIs. John Mayberry also hit for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
