The Orioles erupted for six runs in the fourth inning and breezed to a 7-1 victory over the Angels behind the pitching of Jim Palmer. A walk to Don Baylor and singles by Brooks Robinson and Andy Etchebarren produced the first tally. Palmer bunted and when Rudy May threw wildly to the plate, another run scored. Mark Belanger followed with a single to drive in the third tally and Paul Blair then accounted for three more with a homer.
