Eddie Murray drove in four runs with a pair of singles, enabling the Orioles to defeat the Tigers, 6-3. Murray started the Orioles' scoring with a two-run single in the first inning after a single by Ken Singleton and ground-rule double by Lee May.

Singleton hit his career high 24th homer following a double by Rich Dauer in the third. Murray wrapped up the Orioles' scoring with a two-run single in the seventh. Lance Parrish homered for the Tigers in the seventh and John Wockenfuss singled home two runs in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
