Scott McGregor fell one out short of a complete game but was able to record his sixth straight victory when the Orioles used homers by Eddie Murray and Doug DeCinces to edge the Mariners, 2-1. Murray broke up McGregor's scoreless duel with Paul Mitchell by hitting for the circuit in the sixth inning. DeCinces connected in the ninth.

With two out in the Mariners' half, Leroy Stanton homered and Ruppert Jones followed with a single. Don Stanhouse replaced McGregor and yielded a pinch-hit by John Hale. Tippy Martinez then took over and retired Bruce Bochte for his first save of the season. The defeat was the Mariners' sixth in succession. [The Sporting News]
