The Orioles rallied for three runs in the ninth inning and beat the Rangers, 5-4. A double by Eddie Murray began the outburst and brought on Jim Kern in relief of starter Jon Matlack. After Gary Roenicke drew a walk, Lee May bunted and Jim Kern threw the ball into left field, allowing Murray to score and sending Al Bumbry, the pinch-runner for Roenicke, to third. Bumbry scored as pinch-hitter Pat Kelly was bouncing into a double play and Terry Crowley then singled home May with the winning tally.
