2 runs. After two were out Rico Petrocelli started the rally when he drew a
walk. Brooks Robinson came to the plate and lifted one out of the park for a
two run home run (his 14th of the season). The game was a scoreless duel
until the 6th inning.

helped out by Jim Konstanty who recorded his 23rd save. Terry Fox(10-3) was
the loser in relief. He gave up 4 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings of work.
