A day after he had been demoted to DH due to his batting slump, Eddie Murray was the star of the game as the Orioles won consecutive games for just the second time this season.  The game was a back-and-forth affair with the Orioles getting on the board first in the bottom of the first when Murray singled to bring Cal Ripken in from second.  The Tigers tied it up in the top of the second when Chet Lemon hit an RBI single of his own to score Alan Trammell from second.  Mickey Tettleton hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth to put the Orioles ahead 2-1 but Trammell hit a two run home run in the top of the sixth to put the Tigers up 3-2.  Murray re-tied the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the inning however and the game remained 3-3 until the bottom of the eighth.  With one out Bill Ripken doubled and Tigers starter Frank Tanana intentionally walked Cal Ripken to face Murray.  Murray made him pay by doubling to score Bill Ripken with the go-ahead and eventual winning run.  Murray went 3-4 this evening with a double and home run.  He knocked in 3 of the 4 Oriole runs.
