Joe Lovitto, who tied the score with a triple in the eighth inning, batted in the winning run with a double in the 10th as the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 3-2, to complete the sweep of the four-game series. Toby Harrah opened the 10th with a single and advanced on a sacrifice by Ted Ford. After an intentional pass to Dick Billings, Tom Grieve struck out, but Lovitto came through with his decisive double.
