A two-run homer by Lee May with one out in the top of the ninth gave the Orioles a 3-2 decision over the Rangers. May drilled the ball into the left field seats after Ken Singleton singled and Eddie Murray hit into a forceout. The other Oriole run came in the seventh when Singleton walked, went to third on Murray's double and scored on a two-out single by Pat Kelly.
