Pushing across a run in the top of the 10th inning, the White Sox outlasted the Orioles, 8-7, despite two homers and 6 RBIs by Baltimore's Eddie Murray. Murray clouted a grand slam in the third inning and tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run shot. Harold Baines began the 10th with a double, was sacrificed to third by Chet Lemon and registered the game-winning run on a single by Tony Bernazard. [The Sporting News]
