Don Baylor drove in three runs and Elrod Hendricks hit a two-run homer as the Orioles downed the Rangers, 8-5. Mike Torrez hurled his 15th win, but needed relief from Grant Jackson in the eighth. Loser Stan Perzanowski and reliever Clyde Wright were the victims of Baltimore's four-run third inning, which included Hendricks' blast. Jeff Burroughs smacked his 22nd homer of the season for the Rangers in the sixth and added a double in a two-run eighth. [The Sporting News]
