A two-out single by pinch-hitter Terry Crowley in the bottom of the 12th inning scored pinch-runner Kiko Garcia to give the Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. With one out in the 12th, Andres Mora got a bloop single.

One out later, Larry Harlow batted for Carlos Lopez and drew a base on balls. Garcia then ran for Mora and came home on Crowley's hit. A double by Rick Dempsey and RBI single by Mark Belanger gave the Birds a 1-0 lead in the third inning but the Rangers tied the game in the fourth on a double by Al Oliver, a groundout and an RBI single by Jim Sundberg.
