Catfish Hunter, the A. L.'s active leader in shutouts, posted the 39th of his career, pitching the Yankees to a 3-0 victory over the Orioles. Hunter got only run he actually needed when Lou Piniella doubled for an RBI in the first inning, but the Yankees clinched the verdict when designated hitter Thurman Munson singled home a pair in the fifth.
