Rallying for three runs in the fifth inning, the Orioles downed the Tigers, 9-3, as Sammy Stewart pitched 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. The score was 3-3 in the fifth when Rich Dauer walked and went to third on a single by Ken Singleton, who reached second on the throw to third.

After an intentional walk to Eddie Murray, Terry Crowley drilled a two-run single. Dan Graham, who had clouted a two-run homer in the second stanza, then capped the outburst with an RBI single. [The Sporting News]
