. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bucky Dent hit the first grand slam of his career and Reggie Jackson had a two-run homer as the Yankees exploded for seven runs in the fourth inning to beat the Angels, 8-1. Graig Nettles also had a homer accounting for the Yankees' initial run in the second. Mike Torrez made his first start since being acquired from the Athletics and pitched five innings before leaving the game with a blister on his pitching hand. Dick Tidrow finished.
