Cliff Johnson blasted his 15th homer of the season leading off the top of the 11th inning to snap a 4-4 tie and give the A's a 5-4 triumph over the Orioles. The A's had tied the score in the top of the ninth on a solo homer by Tony Armas, achieving the comeback after spotting the Birds a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Three of Baltimore's runs came on a homer by Doug DeCinces.
