Completing the three-game series sweep, the Red Sox breezed past the Orioles, 4-1, as Mike Torrez scattered nine hits and Rick Burleson hit a solo homer. Jim Rice opened the Red Sox scoring in the first inning when he tripled and scored on Ken Singleton's throwing error. The Bosox added a tally in the second on an RBI double by Fred Lynn. Burleson hit his round-tripper in the fifth. The final Sox marker came in the seventh on a triple by George Scott and a single by Dwight Evans. [The Sporting News]
