A homer by Dave Duncan with two men on base capped the Orioles' four-run outburst in the second inning and started Mike Torrez on his way to a 6-3 victory over the Rangers. Lee May singled, Bobby Grich was hit by a pitch and Al Bumbry bunted safely to load the bases. After the first run scored when Brooks Robinson forced Bumbry, Duncan hit his homer.

The Orioles added their other pair in the fifth. Ken Singleton walked, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Tommy Davis, who took second on the throw and crossed the plate on a single by May. Rangers' scoring included a homer by Jim Sundberg. [The Sporting News]
