Bill Gogolewski, a rookie righthander from Pittsfield (Eastern), joined with Darold Knowles in pitching the Senators to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles. Gogolewski yielded only two hits in the first seven innings. Knowles gave up two more while finishing the game.

The Senators scored in the second inning on a triple by Aurelio Rodriguez and single by Ed Brinkman. Another triple by Ed Stroud and sacrifice fly by Del Unser added the other run in the third. Jim Palmer, pitching for the Orioles, failed for the third time in a bid for his 20th victory. [The Sporting News]
