After giving up a leadoff homer to Ken Singleton, Pat Dobson shut out the Orioles the rest of the way and posted a 6-1 victory to end the Yankees' seven-game losing streak. The game was the first of a scheduled doubleheader, but the second contest was stopped by rain with the Orioles batting in the third inning. There was no score.

The Yankees put Dobson on easy street with four runs off Mike Cuellar in the third. Fred Stanley and Bobby Bonds walked and both counted on a double by Roy White. Thurman Munson singled to score White. Munson then crossed the plate on a single by Chris Chambliss and a wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
