Bobby Grich batted in three runs and Boog Powell and Earl Williams accounted for two apiece to lead the Orioles to a 10-6 victory over the Red Sox. Grich homered in the first inning, drove in another run with a grounder in the third and added his third RBI with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Powell batted in his runs with a triple in the third and single in the seventh. After Powell's single, Williams hit a homer.

Jesse Jefferson, making his first start of the season for the Orioles, was credited with his first victory. Jefferson gave up only five hits and two runs before going out for Bob Reynolds with one away in the sixth inning. The Red Sox rapped Reynolds for 10 hits in the next 3 1/3 innings and scored three runs on a double by Tommy Harper, single by Rick Miller and homer by Cecil Cooper in the ninth before Dave Johnson took over to get the final out.
