. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Moose Haas pitched a three-hitter for his first shutout of the season and Sixto Lezcano smashed a three-run homer as the Brewers defeated the Indians, 4-0, for their eighth straight victory. The Brewers clinched the decision with four runs in the first inning. Singles by Paul Molitor and Cecil Cooper around an infield out accounted for the first run and, after two out, Ben Oglivie walked and Lezcano rapped his third homer in the last three games.
