Trading shutouts, the Indians won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-0, behind the four-hit pitching of John Denny, and the Or-oles captured the second game, 8-0, as Jim Palmer and Tippy Martinez combined on a five-hitter. Jorge Orta singled home Miguel Dilone with the first Cleveland run in the first inning of the lidlifter and scored the second run in the fourth on a two-out single by Joe Charboneau.

The Orioles registered all the runs they needed in the second inning of the nightcap when Doug DeCinces belted a solo homer and Dan Graham delivered a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
