Run-scoring singles by Elliott Maddox and Lee May in the eighth inning provided the Orioles with a 3-1 victory over the Indians. Pinch-hitter Tony Muser doubled to open the stanza and scored on Maddox' single to break a 1-1 tie. After Ken Singleton was retired, May singled to drive in the Orioles' insurance run.
