Saturday June 21, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Bob Gibson, making his first start since May 31 after being taken out of the rotation by the Cardinals, was rapped for 11 hits in seven innings in a 6-1 loss to the Cubs. Jerry Morales jumped on Gibson for three straight hits, including a homer, and then made it a 4-for-4 night with a single off Mike Barlow in the ninth.

Gibson at least saved the Cardinals from being shut out, driving in their only run off Rick Reuschel with a single in the fifth, scoring Ken Reitz, who beat out a grounder deep to Bill Madlock and took second on the third baseman's wild throw. [The Sporting News]
