Elrod Hendricks, who entered the game with a batting average of .135, drove in three runs and Mike Cuellar gained his first victory since May 11 as the Orioles defeated the Indians, 5-3. Hendricks hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning and homered in the fifth.

After Brooks Robinson doubled in the seventh, Hendricks batted in his teammate with a double and also scored himself on an error. Boog Powell hit two homers and Frank Robinson rapped one off Cuellar, who left the game in the eighth inning. Doyle Alexander finished. [The Sporting News]
