The Orioles staked Jim Palmer to a 4-0 first-inning lead and the Baltimore starter responded by going the route to pick up his seventh victory at the expense of the White Sox' Claude Osteen, 6-2. Bobby Grich kayoed loser Osteen with a three-run homer in the first after Ken Singleton's double and Tommy Davis' single had produced the first run. Don Baylor followed with a single before Grich touched off his seventh homer of the season.
