. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jackson Todd tossed a six-hitter and Buck Martinez drove in three runs to carry the Blue Jays to a 4-1 triumph over the Indians. The Jays scored twice in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Martinez and run-scoring double by Lloyd Moseby, and Martinez delivered a two-run single in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
