After Ken Singleton homered for the Orioles with two men on base in the first inning, the Rangers came back to extend their winning streak to six games with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings. The Rangers tied the score in the ninth on a walk to Toby Harrah and double by Jim Sundberg. Bert Campaneris walked in the 10th, took third on a one-out single by Juan Beniquez and counted the winning run with two away when Harrah singled. [The Sporting News]
