Eddie Murray led off the 10th inning with a single, advanced on a wild pickoff throw by Kevin Saucier, moved to third on a groundout by Doug DeCinces and scored on Gary Roenicke's sacrifice fly to push the Orioles past the Tigers, 5-4. The setback dropped the Tigers half a game behind the Brewers in the American League East. [The Sporting News]
