A homer by Doug DeCinces was the key blow as the Orioles won their seventh straight game, a 7-3 decision over the A's. The score was 3-3 going into the bottom of eighth when Ken Singleton hit a leadoff single. DeCinces followed with a round-tripper. Later in the inning, Rich Dauer and Mark Belanger added RBI singles.
