The hitting of Bobby Murcer, who rapped a double, homer and single, led the Yankees to a 5-2 victory in the second game of a doubleheader after the Orioles rallied behind the relief pitching of Roric Harrison to win the first game, 4-3. The Yankees took a 3-0 lead against Doyle Alexander in the opener before Harrison arrived to pitch scoreless ball the rest of the way. Andy Etchebarren smashed a three-run homer to tie the score in the seventh and the Orioles followed with the deciding marker in the eighth on a single by Don Baylor, wild pitch by Sparky Lyle and double by Paul Blair.
