Wednesday May 26, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run homer by Johnny Grubb, his first circuit clout of the season, broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning and sent the Rangers on their way to a 5-3 triumph over the Orioles. Grubb's blast came with Buddy Bell on base via a walk. Texas added a run in the sixth on singles by Leon Roberts and Mike Richardt wrapped around a sacrifice by Doug Flynn. [The Sporting News]
