Completing the three-game series sweep, the Orioles blanked the A's, 3-0, as Mike Flanagan spaced seven hits in registering his 13th victory. The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Al Bumbry singled, went to third on a double by Ken Singleton and scored on a sacrifice fly by Eddie Murray. A walk to Dan Graham, double by Gary Roenicke and two-run single by Doug DeCinces capped the scoring in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
