After a run scored when the White Sox failed to complete what would have been a game-ending double play, Eddie Murray crashed a two-run homer to give the Orioles a 7-5 victory. The Orioles scored three runs in the eighth to take a 4-2 lead, but the White Sox chased Jim Palmer and tied the game in their half on run-scoring hits by Jim Spencer and Lamar Johnson.
