. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Blue Jays' four-game winning streak, longest in club's two-year history, was stopped by Rick Wise, who yielded only four hits in pitching the Indians to a 3-0 victory. Horace Speed had a hand in all three runs, driving in two with a single and a triple and scoring the third after his triple on a groundout by Ted Cox. [The Sporting News]
