A homer by Jim Fregosi in the eighth inning provided the Rangers with their winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Orioles. Fregosi also drove in a run with a single and Tom Grieve made it 2-0 with a homer in the fourth, but the Orioles came back to tie the score in the fifth when Earl Williams singled, Mark Belanger walked and both raced home on a double by Al Bumbry.
