Bob Stanley and Dick Drago combined on a four-hitter as the Red Sox edged the Orioles, 3-2, snapping the Birds' seven-game winning streak. The Sox got two runs in the first inning as Jerry Remy drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a single by Rick Burleson and scored on a double by Fred Lynn.

Burleson tallied on a sacrifice fly by Jim Rice. The Sox tallied their third run in the third inning when Lynn doubled and scored on a triple by Rice. [The Sporting News]
