A pair of two-run innings, each including a double by Chris Chambliss, provided the Indians with a 4-3 victory over the Orioles. In the fourth, Jack Brohamer singled, Chambliss doubled and Roy Foster walked to load the bases. One run scored on a sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles and another on a double by Ray Fosse.

Back-to-back doubles by Chambliss and Foster and a single by Nettles added a pair in the fifth. Brooks Robinson homered with a man on base for the Orioles. [The Sporting News]
