Paul Blair batted in five runs and Doyle Alexander pitched a four-hitter as the Orioles defeated the Tigers, 8-0, to pull within four games of the Red Sox in the East Division race. A triple by Ken Singleton and singles by Blair and Don Baylor produced two runs in the first inning. Blair homered with two men on base in the second. Bobby Grich joined in the attack with a two-run homer in the eighth before Blair accounted for his fifth RBI with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
