Saturday May 10, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

U.L. Washington drove in four runs and Darrell Porter knocked in three, including two with his first homer of the year, to lead the Royals to a 13-8 victory over the Red Sox, who lost in spite of five RBIs by Dwight Evans. The Royals rapped four Red Sox pitchers for 18 hits, with Willie Wilson having a 4-for-6 day.

Dennis Eckersley, who started for the Red Sox, was kayoed in the first inning when the Royals scored five runs, two on Porter's homer and two on a bases-loaded single by Washington. A double by Washington produced two of the Royals' four runs in the third. [The Sporting News]
