. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Doug DeCinces, supporting the five-hit pitching of Dennis Martinez, hit a solo home run in the second inning and two-run homer in the eighth while leading the Orioles to a 5-0 victory over the Blue Jays. This was the fourth shutout and American League-leading 17th complete game for Martinez, who had lost four in a row. [The Sporting News]
