Minnesota Downed, 4-3, by Orioles
Baltimore Orioles starter Jim Palmer was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Minnesota Twins, 4-3. Stu Miller picked up his 27th save of the season. The 4th-place Orioles hiked their record to 43-45.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of Cal Ripken to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Orioles on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Ripken said his team "played with determination."
