Only partially true.

June 23, 1970 (N) at Fenway Park, Red Sox
5th inning
Conigliaro & Petrocelli
July 10, 1973 (N) at Memorial Stadium, Angels
4th inning
Oliver & Stanton (1st of 3 in game, 2 off Palmer)
June 9, 1977 (N) at Fenway Park, Red Sox
3rd inning
Lynn & Rice
April 19, 1980 (N) at Memorial Stadium, White Sox
7th inning
