The Orioles only got five hits this afternoon but they made them count. It helped that Mike Boddicker held the Angels to only four hits.
The O's got on the board in the top of the first on back-to-back doubles by Fred Lynn and Cal Ripken. The Angels tied it up on a solo home run by Jack Howell to lead off the bottom of the fifth.
The Orioles went ahead in the top of the seventh in another one of those weird innings. With one out Joe Orsulak reached on an error by first baseman Jim Eppard, who had just come into the game in place of Wally Joyner. After Lynn flew out for the second out, Angels pitcher Greg Minton uncorked a wild pitch while pitching to Cal Ripken that moved Orsulak to second. Minton walked Ripken and then walked Eddie Murray to load the bases. Angels manager Cookie Rojas went to his bullpen to bring in DeWayne Buice who promptly gave up a two RBI single to Larry Sheets. Buice then walked Ken Gerhart to reload the bases but got Terry Kennedy to ground out to end the inning. The O's got 2 runs on one hit, three walks and one error.
Meanwhile Boddicker was cruising along. He started the bottom of the ninth but Brian Downing led off the inning with a solo home run to make it 3-2. Baltimore manager Frank Robinson went to the bullpen to bring in close Tom Neidenfuer who got the final three outs (although he put the tying run on with a two out walk to Howell). It was Boddicker's second consecutive win after 13 consecutive losses. Baltimore finally had reached double digits in wins in their 48th game of the season.
