The Orioles snapped out of their eight-game losing streak when Pat Kelly drove in a run with a single in the 11th inning to beat the Red Sox, 3-2. Luis Tiant, wthe inner of seven games, suffered his first loss. Fred Lynn homered for the Red Sox in the second, but the Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the fourth when Rich Dauer walked and Eddie Murray hit for the circuit.

Lynn singled in the sixth and, after a wild pitch, scored the tying run on a single by Dwight Evans. Mike Flanagan, who started for the Orioles, struck out 13 in nine innings, his career high, before yielding the mound to Don Stanhouse, who was the winner in the 11th when Dauer hit his second double in the game and scored on Kelly's single.
