The relief pitching of Doyle Alexander, who allowed only three hits in the last 8 2/3 innings, featured the Orioles' 8-3 victory over the Tigers. Alexander took over after Mike Cuellar gave up two runs on a double by Tony Taylor, triple by Aurelio Rodriguez and infield out by Al Kaline. Boog Powell led the Orioles at bat with a single, double and homer.
