Sunday August 13, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Orioles, who lost to Sonny Siebert four straight times last season and once earlier this year, broke the righthander's mastery and defeated the Red Sox, 8-2. Bobby Grich started the Orioles' comeback against Siebert with a homer in the first inning and two more runs followed in the second on a single by Don Baylor, double by Brooks Robinson and single by Don Buford. After Siebert departed on the short end of a 3-2 score, the Orioles broke the game open with four runs at the expense of Gary Peters in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
