. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Brilliant relief pitching by Joe Edelen, who hurled scoreless ball over the last six innings, enabled the Reds to prevail over the Dodgers, 7-3. The Reds wiped out an early 2-0 Los Angeles lead when George Foster doubled home three runs in the third inning. Ken Griffey stroked a two-run single in the fourth and Ray Knight and Ron Oester delivered run-scoring singles in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
