After being shut out by Mike Cuellar in the first game of a doubleheader, 3-0, the Red Sox snapped a string of 25 scoreless innings against Oriole pitching and won the second game, 5-1. The Orioles scored their initial run in the lidlifter on singles by Bobby Grich and Mark Belanger around a sacrifice in the second inning and added their other tallies in the eighth when Don Baylor homered with a man on base.

In the nightcap, the Red Sox finally ended their scoring drouth in the fifth inning when Juan Beniquez singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Rico Petrocelli. The Red Sox added another run in that stanza to take a 2-1 lead and went on to win behind the pitching of Luis Tiant, who scattered seven hits and struck out 12. [The Sporting News]
