The Orioles' string of five straight victories since the start of the season came to an end with a 7-2 loss to the Tigers. Joe Niekro helped assure the triumph by hitting a triple with two men on base in the fourth inning when the Tigers scored five runs. Niekro yielded only six hits but was lifted in the ninth after Brooks Robinson homered for the Orioles and Tom Timmerman came in to register the final out.
