. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Mariners, who were shut out by Frank Tanana, 7-0, in their debut as an expansion club, still had not scored their first run after failing to dent the plate against Nolan Ryan and losing again to the Angels, 2-0. Ryan pitched a three-hitter. Enrique Romo, 30-year-old rookie righthander from the Mexican League, allowed four hits in seven innings, including a homer by Bobby Grich in the opening frame.
