Jim Palmer won the 200th game of his career, pitching the Orioles to a 3-0 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader, after the Indians took the opener, 4-3, in 10 innings. Carlos Lopez hit a two-run homer for the Orioles in the third inning of the lidlifter, but the Indians were leading, 3-2, before the Orioles tied the score in the sixth on a single by Ken Singleton and double by Lee May. In the 10th, Jim Norris drew a walk, raced to second on Buddy Bell's third single of the game and scored the Indians' winning run on a sacrifice fly by Johnny Grubb.

Palmer's shutout in the nightcap was his second straight and third of the season. The Orioles put Palmer ahead in the fourth inning when Singleton and Eddie Murray singled and both scored on a double by Doug DeCinces. Billy Smith drove in an extra counter with a double in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
