The shutout relief pitching of Jim Panther over the last five innings enabled the Rangers to gain a 5-4 victory over the Orioles, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. After the Rangers took a 4-0 lead against Jim Palmer, who was knocked out in the second inning, the Orioles picked up a pair in the third and tied the score in the fourth when Brooks Robinson homered with a man on base.
