The slugging sensation of the Yankees, Graig Nettles hit his eighth homer of the season, connecting with a man on base in the ninth inning to defeat the Orioles, 4-3. Nettles accounted for a previous RBI with a sacrifice fly when the Yankees took a 2-1 lead in the second inning, but the Orioles tied the score in the fourth and went ahead in the fifth when Tommy Davis singled and Boog Powell doubled for his second RBI of the game. In the ninth, with Grant Jackson on the mound in relief, Lou Piniella walked and Rick Dempsey came in to run before Nettles smashed a drive that was headed for foul territory until a strong wind carried the ball fair over the fence in right field.
