A three-run pinch-homer by Jose Morales in the 12th inning enabled the Orioles to beat the Mariners, 6-5. The score was 3-3 when Gary Roenicke beat out an infield hit with two outs. Doug DeCinces followed with a walk and Morales then connected for the circuit. The Mariners scored twice in the bottom of the frame and loaded the bases before Baltimore center fielder Al Bumbry made a running catch of Lenny Randle's liner to end the game.
