Three-hit hurling by Floyd Bannister and a three-run homer by Ted Cox enabled the Mariners to end their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Orioles. Bannister gave up a round-tripper by Benny Ayala in the second inning and trailed in a duel with Jim Palmer until the ninth when Dan Meyer doubled, Tom Paciorek walked and Cox clouted his homer.
