Twenty-game winner Wilbur Wood gave up five runs in the second inning and drew his 18th defeat when the Orioles beat the White Sox, 8-2. The Orioles scored their first run without the benefit of a hit on a pass to Don Baylor, a stolen base, infield out and passed ball. But Boog Powell then singled, Andy Etchebarren and Mark Belanger walked and Merv Rettenmund and Tommy Davis singled, driving in two runs apiece. [The Sporting News]
