A double by Ken Singleton, scoring Al Bumbry from first base, climaxed a three-run rally in the ninth inning and enabled the Orioles to defeat the A's, 8-7. Doug DeCinces ignited the Orioles' rally with a single.

John Lowenstein walked and Bumbry was safe on an error by Mike Edwards, DeCinces scoring. Rich Dauer followed with a sacrifice fly, Lowenstein scoring, before Singleton won game with his double. [The Sporting News]
