A six-run fourth inning carried the Orioles past the White Sox, 10-3. Doug DeCinces tripled to open the fourth and, with one out, scored on Andres Mora's grounder to shortstop Don Kessinger, whose throw to the plate was late. Sox skipper Larry Doby was ejected from the game for protesting the call at home.

When play resumed, Carlos Lopez grounded to pitcher Ken Kravec, whose throw to second was wild for an error. A double by Rick Dempsey scored both runners and Dempsey scored on a single by Rich Dauer. Mike Proly relieved Kravec and surrendered a single to Ken Singleton, walk to Eddie Murray and two-run single to DeCinces. [The Sporting News]
