A five-run outburst in the first inning propelled the Orioles to a 9-2 victory over the White Sox. The Orioles' runs in the opening frame were driven home with a triple by Ken Singleton and singles by Eddie Murray, Doug DeCinces and Al Bumbry. Murray, who drove in four runs during the evening, blasted a two-run homer in the second. [The Sporting News]
