Saturday June 21, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Jim Palmer, who was on the Orioles' disabled list for two months last season and won only seven games while losing 12, continued his comeback pitching by shutting out the Red Sox, 3-0. The victory was the fifth straight for Palmer, bringing his current record to 12-3, and the shutout was his sixth. With two out in the first inning, the Orioles scored all their runs off Dick Pole on a walk to Al Bumbry, singles by Lee May, Don Baylor and Bobby Grich and an error by Rico Petrocelli.
