The Athletics survived trouble caused by two errors in the eighth inning and emerged with a 4-3 victory over the Orioles. Claudell Washington, serving as the designated hitter, rapped a single and double, scoring one run and driving in another, to pace the A's to a 4-0 lead. Ken Holtzman, who was the winner, ending his personal three-game losing streak, gave up a single by Mark Belanger to open the Orioles' eighth, retired Paul Blair and then yielded a single by Bobby Grich.
