After giving up a homer by Dick Allen in the first inning, Pat Dobson allowed only two other hits and pitched the Orioles to a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. The Orioles tied the score on a single by Bobby Grich and triple by Davey Johnson in the fifth and pushed over the winning run with consecutive singles by Paul Blair, Boog Powell and Merv Rettenmund in the sixth.
