Sunday June 29, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Working with only two days of rest, Mike Cuellar spaced five hits and pitched the Orioles to a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. Ray Bare, who started for the Tigers, was even more frugal, allowing only four hits, but two walks in the eighth inning helped beat him.

After Brooks Robinson batted in a run for the Orioles in the fifth inning, the Tigers tied the score in the sixth when Gary Sutherland doubled and Willie Horton singled. With two out in the eighth, Bare walked both Tim Nordbook and Al Bumbry, paving the way for the Orioles' winning run on a single by Lee May. [The Sporting News]
