The Orioles gained their 10th victory in the last 12 games, beating the Tigers, 9-3, with the aid of two-run homers by Don Baylor and Elrod Hendricks, plus shutout relief work by Paul Mitchell. Hendricks homered in the second inning to pace the Orioles to a 4-0 lead before the Tigers rallied to kayo Mike Cuellar

Mitchell allowed only five hits in the last 6 2/3 innings. The Orioles put the game out of the Tigers' reach with three runs in the fifth. After Bobby Grich singled to drive in Mark Belanger, Baylor smashed his homer. [The Sporting News]
