. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Halting a five-game Minnesota winning streak, the Indians edged the Twins, 3-2, as Wayne Garland was credited with his first win since April, 1978. The Indians tallied all their runs in the sixth inning on singles by Tom Veryzer, Bobby Bonds, Rick Manning, Ron Pruitt and Gary Alexander. Alexander's blow drove home two runs. [The Sporting News]
