Don Sutton breaks his 13-game losing streak to the Cubs with a 4 – 2 win at Los Angeles, but needs relief help to do it. Sutton tops Ken Holtzman, who handed Sutton his last four losses to Chicago. It is one short of the most consecutive losses by any pitcher to one club in major league history, and is the National League record for straight losses to a team from the start of a career. Sutton will close out his career with a record of 18-20 versus the Cubs.
