Thursday September 11, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Registering his 23rd victory -- tops in the majors -- Steve Stone hurled the Orioles to a 6-1 decision over the Blue Jays. The Birds grabbed a 4-0 lead in the second inning. Doug DeCinces singled and raced to third on a single by Mark Belanger. The pair then worked a double steal.

Al Bumbry stroked an RBI single, stole second and scored when third baseman Roy Howell made an errant throw to first on a grounder by Rich Dauer. After Ken Singleton walked, Eddie Murray delivered a run-scoring single. [The Sporting News]
