A solo homer by Eddie Murray snapped a 2-2 tie in the 10th inning to trigger the Orioles to 6-2 victory over the Angels. After Murray's blast, the Orioles scored three more runs on a hit, hit batsman, three errors, a walk and a sacrifice fly.

Jim Palmer had his scoreless inning streak broken at 30 and lost his bid for a fifth straight win on an unearned run with two out in the ninth. The Angels tied the game in the ninth off reliever Don Stanhouse on a pair of walks and two-out error by second baseman Billy Smith. [The Sporting News]
