Managerial juggling worked out to the advantage of the Orioles when Bob Reynolds saved a 5-4 victory over the White Sox by inducing Joe Keough to ground into a double play with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. The Orioles built up a 5-1 lead with the aid of a homer by Paul Blair before the White Sox kayoed Jim Palmer with a homer by Bill Melton, double by Ken Buddy Henderson and run-scoring single by Bradford.
