Ross Grimsley, who was acquired from the Reds, made his A. L. debut by pitching the Orioles to a 5-1 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Tigers came back to score four runs in the 10th inning and win the second game, 8-4. In the opener, the Orioles scored all their runs in the first inning, with the aid of doubles by Bobby Grich and Andy Etchebarren. After Grimsley lost his bid for a shutout on an error in the ninth, Bob Reynolds relieved and fanned Mickey Stanley for the final out.
