A grand slam by Tony Armas in the bottom of the 14th inning lifted the A's to a 6-2 triumph over the Orioles. The score was 2-2 when Dave Revering opened the A's 14th with a triple and was replaced by pinch-runner Mike Edwards.

Intentional walks to Mickey Klutts and Mitchell Page loaded the bases to set the stage for Armas' 10th round-tripper of the campaign. Mike Norris went the distance for the seventh time this season. The Orioles had manufactured a tie in the seventh on a solo homer by Eddie Murray and RBI single by Kiko Garcia. [The Sporting News]
