Bobby Grich hit a two-run homer and Doug DeCinces slashed a two-run double to pace the Orioles to a 7-4 victory over the Yankees before an "Old-Timers' Day" crowd of 47,798. Al Bumbry walked and Grich homered to account for two of the Orioles' three runs in the first inning.

DeCinces hit his double in the fifth and scored himself on another two-bagger by Dave Duncan. The Yankees were shut out until the ninth when Chris Chambliss produced all their runs with a grand-slam homer. [The Sporting News]
