. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jim Dwyer belted a double and homer and knocked in two runs to pace the Red Sox to a 4-3 decision over the Blue Jays. The Red Sox tallied twice in the first inning on an RBI single by Tony Perez and run-scoring double by Carlton Fisk. Dwyer doubled home Rick Burleson, who had doubled, in the fifth and connected for a solo round-tripper in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
