. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Combining on a three-hitter, Joaquin Andujar and Bruce Sutter pitched the Cardinals to a 2-0 whitewashing of the Cubs. Andujar had to leave after eight innings because of a pulled hamstring and Sutter came in to notch his 23rd save. The Redbirds scored in the sixth on a leadoff triple by Garry Templeton and a one-out sacrifice fly by Darrell Porter. Keith Hernandez delivered a sacrifice fly in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
