Wednesday May 13, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Three-hit hurling by Scott McGregor carried the Orioles to a 4-0 blanking of the Blue Jays. The Orioles jumped to a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by John Lowenstein and made it 3-0 in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Bob Bonner. An infield single by Eddie Murray drove in an eighth-inning tally and Lowenstein led off the ninth with a homer. [The Sporting News]
