Wayne Garland, relieving in his third game since coming up from Rochester (International), received credit for his first major league victory when the Orioles defeated the Rangers in 10 innings, 6-5. Earl Williams led off the 10th with a single. Al Bumbry, going in to run, moved to second on a ground ball by Brooks Robinson and scored the winning run on a single by Rich Coggins. Jeff Burroughs batted in four of the Rangers' runs with two singles and a homer.

The Orioles picked up two unearned runs in the fourth inning before knocking out David Clyde in the fifth when Mark Belanger and Bobby Grich hit homers, Grich's blow following a pass to Paul Blair. The Rangers came back in their half to chase Mike Cuellar, who had pitched six straight complete games. Cesar Tovar and Lenny Randle drew walks, Alex Johnson beat out a bunt to load the bases and Burroughs drove in two runs with a single to tie the score at 5-5. [The Sporting News]
