the 1971 Baltimore Orioles season finished first in the American League East, with a record of 101 wins and 57 losses. They returned to the World Series for the third consecutive season, but were defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games at home. As of 2025, the 1971 Orioles are one of only two Major League Baseball clubs (the 1920 Chicago White Sox being the other) to have four 20-game winners in a season: Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, and Pat Dobson.
