Posting their sixth straight victory, the Orioles took a 6-0 decision from the Angels behind the two-hit pitching of Dennis Martinez. The only Angel hits were a leadoff single by Don Baylor in the seventh and a two-out single by Rod Carew in the ninth.

Eddie Murray, stretching his hitting streak to 17 games, blasted a two-run homer in the first inning. The blow came off Mike Barlow, pitching in relief of Frank Tanana, who left with a groin muscle pull after striking out leadoff batter Al Bumbry. Gary Roenicke also homered off Barlow in the second.
