Sunday April 26, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Ted Simmons had a two-run homer and four RBIs and Gorman Thomas hit a two-run homer to spark the Brewers to an 11-1 rout of the Royals. Simmons, who clouted his round-tripper in the second inning for the Brewers' first two runs, also delivered a sacrifice fly in the seventh and run-scoring single in the eighth. Thomas belted his homer in the fourth. Randy Lerch, making his first start of the season, limited K.C. to six hits over eight innings to gain the win. [The Sporting News]
