The Orioles kept their East Division title hopes alive by posting a 5-2 victory to move back within 4½ games of the pace-setting Red Sox. An error and a single by Fred Lynn produced a Red Sox run in the first inning, but Tommy Davis tied the score with a homer in the third. The Orioles went ahead in the fourth with a single by Don Baylor, a stolen base, wild throw by Carlton Fisk and single by Elrod Hendricks.
