. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Posting his 48th career shutout, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers past the Expos, 5-0. The Dodgers got three runs in the first inning. A single by Steve Garvey and double by Lee Lacy triggered the uprising and the other run came in on a wild pitch. A fourth run came in the third frame on a triple by Vic Davalillo and a sacrifice fly by Lacy. A sacrifice fly by Garvey added the final marker in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
