May's Heroics Keep Orioles Perched Atop AL East



American League
New York 4 at Baltimore 5 (11)
- The Orioles rally from 4-1 down to avoid a 4-game losing streak. Lee May tied the game with a 2-out double in the 9th and won it with an RBI single in 11th. The Yankees would have made it a 3-way tie for 1st in the East with the win
Detroit 1 at Cleveland 7
- The Tigers have lost ten in a row as Oscar Gamble homered and drove in five for Cleveland
Boston 1 at Milwaukee 5
- Mike Caldwell (3-0, 2.56) went the distance and Jim Sundberg hit his 2nd home run and drove in 3
Minnesota 5 at Kansas City 7
- Joe Lahoud’s pinch-hit two run home run off Mike Bacsik in the 7th was the difference. Lindy McDaniel and Marty Pattin combined for 3 perfect innings of relief for the win and save
Chicago 3 at California 1
- Jerry Koosman improved to 3-1, 1.73 while rookie Tommy John lost his first decision but has a 1.99 ERA
Texas 1 at Oakland 4
- Gary Thomasson’s first home run of the season helped Sonny Siebert (2-1, 2.75) top Jim Bibby (0-2, 4.67) in a matchup of starters who were traded from the National League in the offseason

National League
Philadelphia 7 at New York 2
- Larry Christenson (3-0, 3.00) and Mike Schmidt (7th HR) led the Phillies to an easy win at Shea
San Diego 5 at San Francisco 4
- Doug Rader’s RBI double in the 9th  helped Rollie Fingers (1-0, 1.00) and the Padres to a 3-way tie a half game out of 1st in the NL West
