Breaking a 5-5 tie with a five-run explosion in the ninth inning, the Orioles sent the Rangers reeling to their seventh straight defeat, 10-6. Rich Dauer opened the ninth with a single and moved to third on a double by Eddie Murray.

After Reggie Cleveland replaced Fergie Jenkins on the hill and intentionally walked Ken Singleton, Lee May singled to center, producing two runs. Pat Kelly followed with an RBI single and Mark Belanger added a sacrifice fly. Larry Harlow greeted reliever Jim Umbarger with an RBI single to cap the inning. [The Sporting News]
