A three-run uprising in the ninth inning carried the White Sox to a 9-6 victory over the Orioles. The winning rally began with a two-bagger by Harold Baines, who scored on a single by Marv Foley. Mike Squires singled home another tally and the third scored on an error by center fielder Al Bumbry.

After Eddie Murray tripled in the sixth inning, White Sox reliever Mike Proly hit the next batter, Doug DeCinces, with a pitch and the Orioles' third baseman charged the mound, igniting a bench-clearing brawl that led to his ejection. [The Sporting News]
