. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The managerial debut of Joey Amalfitano, replacing Preston Gomez, was spoiled when the Cubs failed to hold a 6-2 lead and lost to the Dodgers, 7-6. The Dodgers rallied to tie the score in the sixth inning, counting twice on five singles and adding two more runs on a pass with the bases loaded and a wild pitch. Then in the ninth, the Dodgers filled the sacks again and Dusty Baker singled to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
