Pittsburgh Pirates at San Diego Padres

Both teams dressed in 1978 throwbacks, the Padres in the mustard and brown outfit they've worn a few times in 2010, and the Pirates in a nice looking pinstripes jersey over black pants combo with the yellow pill box hat.

Baltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals

The visiting Baltimore Orioles dressed as the 1950s Baltimore Elite Giants and the Royals were dressed as the 1949 Kansas City Monarchs as the teams played in an annual Negro League tribute game. Billy Butler's two-run home run in the eighth inning was the difference as the Royals won 4-3.

Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros

In what would turn out to be Roy Oswalt's final start for the Astros, who were wearing their 1989-93 uniforms, he gave up six runs on nine hits in five innings in a 7-0 loss to the non-throwback Reds. Oswalt was traded to the Phillies five days later.

Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles, honoring the 30th anniversary of their 1970 World Series championship, defeated the Nationals, who were dressed as the 1963-71 expansion Senators who would later become the Texas Rangers. Before the game Earl Weaver was "thrown out" of the game as he accompained interim manager Juan Samuel to home plate with the lineup card.







Pittsburgh Pirates at Oakland Athletics

The A's defeated the Pirates 5-0 on 1970s Turn Back the Clock night. Both teams wore flashy uniforms from the 70s, with the A's in bright yellow and green and the Pirates in black and gold. Pittsburgh even dusted off its famed pillbox caps, although their yellow ones shouldn't have had stars. The Pirates and A's were dominant teams in the 70s, combining for five World Series titles.
