Jim Palmer became the first 20-game winner in the major leagues this season when the Orioles defeated the White Sox, 4-2. Palmer entered the charmed circle for the fifth time in his career, coming back from a 7-12 record in 1974 when arm trouble plagued his efforts. Jorge Orta and Pete Varney homered for the White Sox runs.
