. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Fred Kendall homered in the third inning and Gene Tenace added a two-run blow in the sixth to back the pitching of Gaylord Perry in a 3-1 victory over the Pirates, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. Tenace's homer came after a single by Dave Winfield. Omar Moreno hit safely in his 14th straight game for the Pirates and helped set up their lone run with a single in the sixth.
