Posting his third shutout of the season, Catfish Hunter pitched the Athletics to a 6-0 victory over the Orioles. Bill North homered in the third inning and Reggie Jackson in the sixth, each with a man on base. After Jackson's roundtripper, the A's chased Mike Cuellar with another run in the sixth on two walks and a single by Angel Mangual. The final run came off Don Hood in the seventh on a walk, single by Bert Campaneris and sacrifice fly by Jackson. [The Sporting News]
