Rallying for two runs in the 10th inning, the A's edged the Orioles, 7-6. After the Birds took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 10th on Dan Ford's sacrifice fly, Joe Rudi began the bottom of the frame with a base on balls and was replaced by pinch-runner Jimmy Sexton.

Wayne Gross sacrificed and both runners were safe when the throw to second on an attempted forceout was late. Two outs later, Jeff Burroughs delivered a pinch-single to score Sexton with the tying run. Gross went to third on the play and Rickey Henderson followed with a single that plated Gross.
