The A's swept a doubleheader from the Orioles, winning the first game, 4-2, and capturing the nightcap, 3-2. The lidlifter was tied, 2-2, when Jim Spencer began the bottom of the seventh inning by reaching first safely as shortstop Mark Belanger booted his grounder. A single by Mike Heath and a walk to Mark Budaska then loaded the bases and Keith Drumright walked on four pitches from Jim Palmer to force home the go-ahead run. Tim Stoddard relieved Palmer and walked home another run.
