Lee May and Andres Mora, who had homered in the previous night's game, did it again, but this time back to back in the seventh inning, as the Orioles defeated the Rangers, 8-4, behind the six-hit pitching of Jim Palmer. Al Bumbry was on base with a single when May homered to put the Orioles ahead, 4-3. Mora's following smash then decided the outcome, but the Orioles went on to add another run in the eighth and two on a homer by Brooks Robinson in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
