A double by Bobby Grich and single by Tommy Davis in the eighth inning provided the Orioles with a 4-3 victory over the Athletics. Ken Holtzman, who started for the A's, was lifted after Grich's two-bagger. Davis then singled off Rollie Fingers, who took over in relief. The A's jumped off to a 2-0 lead against Ross Grimsley, but Earl Williams homered with a man on base to tie the score in the fourth. After the Orioles went ahead, 3-2, Bill North tied the score with a homer for the A's. [The Sporting News]
