John Denny lost his bid for his fourth straight shutout but combined with Dan Spillner on a six-hitter as the Indians defeated the Orioles, 4-1. The Orioles ended the streak of 34 scoreless innings for Denny in the eighth. Rick Dempsey led off with a single and was forced at second on Al Bumbry's grounder. Bumbry advanced on a groundout and scored on Ken Singleton's single. The Tribe scored the deciding run in the sixth when Rick Manning doubled, took third as Jorge Orta flied out and scored on Mike Hargrove's sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News] |
