. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although nicked for 10 hits, Mike Cuellar was able to gain his eighth straight victory when the Orioles used only five hits to beat the Twins, 4-3. In the first inning, the Orioles loaded the bases on a single by Paul Blair and walks to Bobby Grich and Earl Williams, setting the stage for a two run single by Don Baylor.

Two more walks and a single by Andy Etchebarren filled the sacks again in the fourth, leading to another run on a grounder by Blair. Baylor singled and Brooks Robinson doubled for the fourth Orioles' run in the eighth. The Twins counted twice in their half of the eighth on a single by Craig Kusick with the bases loaded and Danny Thompson then made it close with a homer in the ninth for the Twins' third run.
