Three-run homers by Brooks Robinson and Lee May provided the power for the Orioles, who defeated the Indians, 8-3. Robinson belted his drive in the fourth inning. The Orioles added their other runs in the fifth. A walk to Mark Belanger, single by Ken Singleton and errors on grounders by Paul Blair and Al Bumbry accounted for two tallies and resulted in the removal of Jim Bibby.

Don Hood relieved and on his first pitch, May smashed a homer for three more runs. The Indians had a circuit clout by George Hendrick among their 9 hits off Jim Palmer, who gained his 11th victory. [The Sporting News]
