Mike Cuellar and Elrod Hendricks, who worked together as the Orioles' winning battery, also combined for a run in the eighth inning to beat the White Sox, 2-1. Hendricks, batting only .111, doubled with two out and scored on a single by Cuellar, who was hitting a meager .061. The other runs in the game came on homers in the fourth inning by Terry Crowley for the Orioles and by Dick Allen for the White Sox. [The Sporting News]
