Don Baylor's one-out triple in the ninth scored Bobby Grich from first to give the Orioles a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. Grich had reached first on a single and scored when Baylor's line drive whistled up the right-center alley to give pitcher Mike Torrez his fifth triumph in six decisions.

The Sox took a 1-0 lead on Pat Kelly's homer in the opening frame. A pair of walks and Jorge Orta's run-scoring single made it 2-0 in the fifth. The Orioles tied the contest in the seventh when reliever Terry Forster came on for starter Wilbur Wood. Tommy Davis drew a leadoff walk and, two outs later, scored when Baylor drove a double high off the left-field wall. Brooks Robinson's single then scored Baylor. [The Sporting News]
