Texas left fielder Greg Gross was sensational. He was 4-4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Baltimore beat the Rangers, 6-4. Bruce Sutter notched his 13th save in 18 chances. The Orioles sit in 5th place in the American League East Division with a record of 43-48.

In the bottom of the third, with Baltimore leading 2-1, third baseman Dan Meyer hit a 2-run single. The hit came off Charlie Lea and put the Orioles ahead, 4-1.

"I was hoping to make good contact," said Meyer. "I wasn't trying to knock the snot out of it."
