| T-Shirt Night brought out a crowd of 51,195, setting a Baltimore record for a regular-season game, but the Orioles failed to live up to the occasion and lost to the Royals, 6-3. Rather, the Orioles lost to John Mayberry, who batted in five runs, including three with his first homer of the season. Lee May hit two homers for the Orioles, good for three runs.
