Singles by Dave Rosello, Alan Bannister and Mike Hargrove in the eighth inning produced the Indians' winning run in a 6-5 victory over the Orioles. Both clubs had four-run outbursts in the fifth.

Eddie Murray produced two of the Orioles runs with a single and Bo Diaz hit a three-run double for the Indians. The Orioles went ahead in the sixth with a single by Doug DeCinces, a wild pitch, long fly to right and an infield hit by Kiko Garcia, but the Indians knotted the count in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Jorge Orta.
