. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Unfurling a four-hitter, Burt Hooton pitched the Dodgers past the Cubs, 5-0. The Dodgers broke the game open in the fifth inning. Pedro Guerrero opened the frame with an infield hit and, after Steve Yeager and Steve Sax struck out, Hooton walked and Ken Landreaux plated two runs with a single and Dusty Baker extended his hitting streal to 15 games with an RBI single. The Dodgers closed out the scoring in the seventh on run-scoring singles by Baker and Steve Garvey. [The Sporting News]
