. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Cubs gave new manager Joey Amalfitano his first victory, defeating the Dodgers, 5-3. Lynn McGlothen, who helped himself with a run-scoring single in the third, pitched 8 2/3 innings before Amalfitano called on Bruce Sutter in relief. Sutter gained his 21st save, but with some difficulty, giving up a pair of run-scoring hits before recording the third out to end the game. [The Sporting News]
