Ron Santo hit his first A. L. homer, connecting with a man on base in the seventh inning, to lift the White Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Orioles. The former Cub's clout off Jim Palmer, following a single by Ken Henderson, erased the 1-0 lead that the Orioles had gained off Stan Bahnsen in the first when Rich Coggins doubled and Bobby Grich singled.
