. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run triple by Charlie Moore in the second inning and a homer by Ben Oglivie in the sixth paced the Brewers a to 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays. Robin Yount drove in the Brewers' first run with a single in the second before Moore's triple and an infield out by Jim Gantner made it 4-0. The Blue Jays averted a shutout when Rico Carty hit for the circuit in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
