Jackie Brown became the fourth Ranger pitcher with 10 or more victories to his credit this season, joining Fergie Jenkins, Jim Bibby and Steve Hargan, when the righthander defeated the Orioles, 4-2. Brown gave up the Orioles' runs in the second inning on a single by Don Baylor, a stolen base, single by Brooks Robinson and double by Earl Williams.

The Rangers immediately tied the score with a single by Jim Fregosi and homer by Toby Harrah. Doubles by Dave Nelson and Jeff Burroughs provided the go-ahead run in the fifth and Fregosi put the icing on Brown's 10th victory with a round-tripper in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
