Lee May smashed a homer after a walk to Ken Singleton in the eighth inning to carry the Orioles to a 6-5 victory over the White Sox. Richie Zisk batted in four runs for the White Sox with a homer, single and sacrifice fly. After May's homer put the Orioles ahead, 6-4, the White Sox staged a rally in the ninth, but rookie right fielder Mike Dimmel saved the game for the Orioles.
