Saturday July 12, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Steve Stone received credit for his 11th straight victory, bringing his record to 13-3, when the Orioles defeated the Royals, 3-1. Stone allowed only three hits but walked six and needed relief help from Tippy Martinez and Tim Stoddard. Eddie Murray hit a two-run double in support of Stone and John Lowenstein connected for his first homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
