Monday June 23, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Rick Sutcliffe pitched a three-hitter and drove in two runs to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 blanking of the Astros. L.A. scored all its runs in the fifth inning. Steve Garvey opened with a single and, one out later following a walk to Ron Cey, came home on a double by Bill Russell. After Steve Yeager walked to load the bases, Sutcliffe bounced a two-run single to center. [The Sporting News]
