Although missing his second consecutive shutout, Rick Wise pitched the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Orioles. Bobby Grich wrecked Wise's bid by hitting a homer with one out in the ninth inning. Rick Burleson singled and scored on two errors for the Red Sox in the fifth and smashed a homer for the deciding run in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
