Pat Dobson extended his personal winning streak to nine games by pitching the Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the Athletics. Rick Monday homered for the A's two runs off Dobson, who gave up seven hits. The Orioles collected only five off Diego Segui, but they included homers by Paul Blair and Davey Johnson.

The Orioles' two other runs counted in the third inning. A walk to Mark Belanger, a sacrifice and single by Don Buford produced one run and the other scored when Buford raced home on a two-out pop single by Brooks Robinson. [The Sporting News]
