. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jim Palmer, who had been on the disabled list, made his first start since June 16 and pitched six innings to receive credit for the Orioles' 8-2 victory over the White Sox. Boog Powell hit a grand slam off Bart Johnson in the first inning after the Orioles loaded the bases on a walk to Paul Blair and errors by Bucky Dent and Jorge Orta.

As if that were not enough, the Orioles knocked out Johnson in the second, scoring three more runs. Mark Belanger doubled and Rich Coggins walked. Blair beat out a bunt and when Bill Melton threw wildly on the play, Belanger scored. A single by Tommy Davis and double by Bobby Grich then admitted two more runs. [The Sporting News]
