. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scattering eight hits, Mike Caldwell pitched the Brewers to a 6-0 blanking of the White Sox, the ace lefty's third shutout of the season. Paul Molitor led off the game for the Brewers with a triple and walks to Cecil Cooper and Sixton Lezcano loaded the bases. Ben Oglivie then unloaded his first career grand slam homer.
