Opponent: New York Yankees
Outcome: L
Score: 1-7
Streak: L2
Record: 52-97
Rank: 7th
GB: 33
No way to really sugar coat tonight's game - the Orioles got slapped around pretty well by the Yankees bats and New York starter Rick Rhoden was able to keep the Baltimore bats from doing muc of anything. The Yankees got on the board first in the fourth inning on an RBI double by Ken Phelps but really put themselves in control in the game on back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning. The first one was a three run shot from Jack Clark which was followed by a solo (obviously) shot by Phelps. The Yankees led 5-0 after five.
Craig Worthington led off the sixth with a solo home run for the Birds to make it 5-1 but the Yankees got two more in the eighth inning on an RBI ground out with the bases loaded by Don Slaught followed by an RBI single by Rafael Santana. Meanwhile Rhoden ended up pitching a complete game giving up just the one run on five hits and a walk en route to his 12th win of the season.
