Monday June 23, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Doc Medich, authoring his second complete game in his last 10 starts, stopped the Orioles on eight hits and got help from batterymate Thurman Munson, who drove in three runs as the Yankees stopped Baltimore, 6-1. New York scored three runs after two were out in the third, Roy White singling home Alex Johnson, who had doubled, then scoring himself ahead of Munson, who homered off loser Ross Grimsley. It was the 16th gopher pitch thrown this season by the Baltimore hurler.

The Orioles' only run came in the third on a single by Mark Belanger, double by Ken Singleton and infield hit by Lee May. The Yanks scored three more in the final two innings, Munson picking up his third RBI of the game with a single. [The Sporting News]
