The White Sox, who had lost five straight times to Mike Cuellar since his arrival with Baltimore in 1969, ended the southpaw's mastery by defeating the Orioles, 2-0. Cuellar actually was beaten by his own wildness and the inability of catcher Clay Dalrymple to throw out two base thieves.

In the third inning, Walt Williams beat out a bunt, stole second and scored on a single by Mike Andrews. Rick Reichardt walked in the sixth, also stole second, advanced to third on an infield out and crossed the plate on a wild pitch by Cuellar. Bart Johnson saved the game for Bradley, striking out Boog Powell with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth. When the Orioles threatened with two out in the ninth, Johnson fanned Frank Robinson. [The Sporting News]
