Sonny Siebert boosted his record to 6-0 by pitching the Red Sox to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles. The Red Sox nicked Jim Palmer for their first run in the fifth inning when Duane Josephson tripled and Doug Griffin hit a sacrifice fly. In the seventh, George Scott singled, Billy Conigliaro sacrificed and Siebert provided his own insurance run with a two-out single. [The Sporting News]
