Wednesday April 29, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Three first-inning runs were all Dennis Martinez needed as the Orioles blanked the White Sox, 3-0. A single by Ken Singleton plated Al Bumbry with the first run and Benny Ayala smacked a two-run homer. Dennis Martinez scattered seven hits before Tippy Martinez came in two get the final two outs.
