Pinch-hitting in ninth inning, Reggie Jackson came through with a grand-slam homer to power the Orioles to a 6-2 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the White Sox gained a split by winning the nightcap, 7-3. Jim Palmer, pitching the lidlifter for the Orioles, was staked to a 2-0 lead and allowed only one hit until the eighth when the White Sox tied the score on a single by Jorge Orta after a walk, hit batsman and infield single by Jim Essian had loaded the bases. Ken Singleton drew a walk to open the Orioles' ninth and, with one out, Dave Duncan singled. After a wild pitch, Brooks Robinson walked. Jackson was announced as the pinch-hitter for Tommy Harper and Terry Forster took the mound in relief for the White Sox, but Jackson upset the percentage by smashing his homer.
