Don Baylor, the Orioles' rookie outfielder who drove in two runs with a single in the first inning in his first time at bat in the major leagues, sent home another run with a single in the 11th to beat the Indians, 4-3. After Baylor's hit with the bases loaded in the opening frame, the Orioles counted again in the fourth on a single by Oates and a triple by Bobby Grich, but Duke Sims tied the score for the Indians with a three-run homer in the sixth.
