Bump Wills hit the first grand slam of his major league career, capping a five-run outburst in the 10th inning and giving the Rangers an 11-8 victory over the Orioles. With one out, Pat Putnam walked, Billy Sample was hit by a pitch and Jim Sundberg walked to load the bases. One out later, Mickey Rivers drew a pass to force in the tie-breaking run and Wills followed with his homer. [The Sporting News]
