Don Baylor had a 5-for-5 night and hit one of the Orioles' four homers in a 12-8 victory over the Red Sox. Bobby Grich, Brooks Robinson and Ken Singleton also rapped round-trippers for the Orioles, while the Red Sox had circuit clouts by Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk.

With the score tied, 6-6, the Orioles erupted for four runs in the seventh on a single by Baylor, double by Grich and homers by Robinson and Singleton. Baylor's boundary belt with Tommy Davis on base in the eighth clinched the outcome. [The Sporting News]
