With two out in the ninth inning, Graig Nettles walked and scored from first base on a double by Roy White to bring the Yankees a 3-2 victory over the Orioles. After the Yankees counted in the first on a pass to Willie Randolph, a stolen base, and a double by Lou Piniella, the Orioles took the lead with homers by Eddie Murray and Pat Kelly. The Yankees tied the score in the eighth when Mickey Rivers doubled and Thurman Munson singled. White's scoring double in the ninth broke the Yankees' three-game losing streak.
