Thursday June 4, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Recording their highest run total of the season, the Yankees zonked the Orioles, 12-3, to conclude the sweep of the three-game series. Jerry Mumphrey cracked three doubles and Oscar Gamble, Dave Winfield, Bobby Murcer and Dave Revering drove home two runs apiece.

The Yanks scored four unearned runs in the second inning on a two-out error by third baseman Doug DeCinces, RBI single by Willie Randolph and two-run single by Gamble. Rookie pitcher Gene Nelson yielded a leadoff single to Al Bumbry in the first inning, then held the Orioles hitless until they ended a 22-inning scoreless drought with a solo homer by Rich Dauer in the ninth.
