Brooks Robinson, who had singled home the tying run in the top of the seventh, doubled in the 14th to chase across the deciding tally, giving the Orioles a 4-2 nod over the Rangers. Robinson scored an insurance run on Elrod Hendricks' follow-up single.

Jim Palmer, seeking his 20th victory with the O's, left in the 12th with the score tied. He gave up the game's first run in the fourth when Cesar Tovar singled, stole second, took third on Dave Duncan's throwing error and scored when Jeff Burroughs singled. Baltimore tied it in the fifth on Robinson's double and a single by Bobby Grich. Singles by Jim Sundberg and Tovar, a sacrifice by Dave Moates and an infield out gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
