. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Lee May and Andres Mora each homered with two men on base and Reggie Jackson added a solo swat to carry the Orioles to a 9-4 victory over the Rangers. Rudy May, making his first appearance for the Orioles since being obtained in a 10-player deal with the Yankees, gained the decision, pitching 8 1/3 innings before Dyar Miller came in to finish.
