April 8 at the Indians

Opponent: Cleveland Indians
Outcome: L
Score: 0-3
Streak: L3
Record: 0-3
Rank: 7th
GB: 3.0

First road game of the season and second shutout in three games.  It was the Indians' home opener and they drew 53,738 for the game.  It was scoreless into the seventh when the Indians staged a two out rally off Orioles starter Mark Thurmond.  A single by Cary Snyder was followed up by walks to Mel Hall and Jay Bell to load the bases.  Manager Cal Ripken Sr. replaced Thurmond with Doug Sisk who promptly walked the first batter he faced (Andy Allanson) to force in Snyder.  Julio Franco followed with an infield single that somehow knocked in both Hall and Bell although Allanson was thrown out at third to end the inning and the scoring.  Indians pitcher Scott Bailes threw a complete game shutout to get the win.
