Jim Palmer turned in his second straight shutout and 44th of his career, pitching a three-hitter, and Ross Grimsley followed with a six-hit performance as the Orioles swept over the Rangers in a doubleheader, 5-0 and 6-1. Lee May drove in two runs with a single and Billy Smith hit his first major league homer in the Orioles' support of Palmer. In the second game, Ken Singleton hit two singles, driving in a run each time, and also contributed a double to the Orioles' attack.
