Thursday September 13, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
With Pat Kelly, Doug DeCinces and Eddie Murray belting home runs, the Orioles breezed past the Blue Jays, 10-4. Mike Flanagan, winningest pitcher in the major leagues, annexed his 22nd victory with ninth-inning help from Don Stanhouse. Kelly and DeCinces connected in the second, DeCinces' homer coming with a man on. Murray unloaded a three-run homer in the third. [The Sporting News]
