. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Capitalizing on 13 walks and four wild pitches, the Royals sailed to a 6-1 victory over the Brewers. A bases-loaded walk to Todd Cruz and a sacrifice fly by Willie Wilson gave the Royals a 2-1 lead in the second inning and they added three more runs in the third on a walk to Amos Otis, a stolen base, double by Pete LaCock, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly by U.L. Washington. [The Sporting News]
