The Orioles rally for two runs in the 8th inning to beat the Indians’ Sam McDowell, 4 – 3. Dick Hall wins his 10th game with three innings of hitless relief. He also walks no one and ends the year with more wins than walks – 10 wins and only six walks in 61 innings. Not since Slim Sallee’s 21 wins in 1919 when he walked 20 has a pitcher accomplished this. Bret Saberhagen in 1994 will be the next, winning 14 and walking 13. Before Sallee, Christy Mathewson had two seasons of more wins than walks.
