. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Posting his 12th victory in his last 13 decisions, Ron Guidry pitched the Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the Indians. The Yanks took the lead in the third inning on a two-out RBI single by Willie Randolph and two-run double by Oscar Gamble. A run-scoring single by Brad Gulden produced a fourth-inning tally and Gamble clouted a two-run homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
