Pete Broberg, the Senators' rookie righthander from Dartmouth, defeated the Indians, 9-4, for his first major league victory. The Senators, who extended their winning streak to five games, backed Broberg with homers by Frank Howard, Del Unser and Lenny Randle.

Howard and Unser each connected with a man on base. Randle hit his first major league homer, with two out in the seventh inning, to ignite a five-run outburst. [The Sporting News]
