. . . where the 1970s live forever!

With principal batting support from George Foster, who went 3-for-5, Tom Seaver pitched the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Pirates, who lost their sixth straight game. Foster doubled in one of the Reds' two runs in the first inning and then homered in the sixth. Seaver came to the plate later in the sixth and batted in two runs with a double to provide his own deciding margin. [The Sporting News]
