Switch-hitting Ken Henderson homered from each side of the plate, accomplishing that feat for first time in his major league career, and Deron Johnson and Bob Coluccio also hit for the circuit to power the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Orioles. Batting righthanded, Henderson ripped his first homer of the game off Ross Grimsley in the first inning. Johnson, who was the next batter, followed with a round-tripper. Coluccio added his circuit clout in the second.

Henderson, swinging lefthanded, then capped the White Sox scoring with a homer off Wayne Garland in the eighth. Paul Blair had a round-tripper for the Orioles off Jim Kaat, who gained his 19th victory with the assistance of Rich Gossage. [The Sporting News]
