Ron Santo returned to the Chicago lineup wearing a plastic shield over his left cheek after a June 26 fracture. He slugged a homer and three more hits in six at bats across the Cubs Pirates twin bill, lifting Chicago to a 6-4 win in darkness and extending his consecutive game streak to 27, tying a club mark set by Hack Wilson in 1929. He said he could see with the shield and planned to swing at Don Cardwell's first pitch if it came near the plate as the night game was called.
