Tony Muser, getting one of his occasional chances to start at first base in place of Dick Allen, took advantage of the opportunity and hit a homer, double and two singles to lead the White Sox to a 9-1 victory over the Orioles. The White Sox, who ended a five-game losing streak, knocked out Jim Palmer in the first inning, scoring three runs, one on a single by Muser. The White Sox added two runs off Don Hood in the second and completed their scoring with four runs off Jesse Jefferson in the third on singles by Ed Herrmann and Bucky Dent, double by Jorge Orta and homer by Muser.
