The Baltimore Orioles spoiled a good performance by Houston right fielder Nate Micari, bumping off Houston, 6-5, at Minute Maid Park. Micari went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The Orioles raised their record to 61-44.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of Gene Esterberg to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Orioles on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like our moxie," said Orioles manager Orioles Manager.
