. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-out double by Dan Briggs in the seventh inning spoiled Dick Ruthven's bid for a no-hitter as the Phillies won their sixth straight game, defeating the Padres, 2-0. The Phils scored their first run in the first inning when Pete Rose singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a double by Greg Luzinski. In the third frame, Larry Bowa got an infield hit and came around on singles by Pete Rose and Greg Luzinski. [The Sporting News]
