Grand-slam homers by Lee May and Reggie Jackson powered the Orioles to 8-6 and 6-5 victories in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the White Sox. In the opener, the Orioles scored all their runs in the first two innings. Bobby Grich singled and Jackson homered for a pair in the first and May hit his grand slam off Terry Forster to climax a six-run outburst in the second. Jim Palmer gained his 16th victory but was knocked out in the sixth. The Orioles had to use four relievers before wrapping up their victory.
