Jim Palmer became a 10-game winner by pitching the Orioles to a 7-1 victory over the Rangers. The Orioles started Palmer on the road to success with two runs in the second inning on singles by Brooks Robinson, Dave Duncan and Mark Belanger and sacrifice fly by Ken Singleton. Singles by Lee May and JIm Northrup led to Jim Bibby's exit in the third. Jackie Brown walked Robinson and Duncan to force in one run before Belanger singled to drive in two more.
