Boston Red Sox (63-59) 0 1 1 0 0 3 1 0 2 8 14 1

Red Sox Prevail, 8-6, Over Baltimore
Dale Long helped his team muscle past the Baltimore Orioles, 8-6. In the game, the Boston first baseman was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The Red Sox are now 63-59, while the Orioles fall to 61-59.

Boston used the timely hitting of Bobby Murcer to capture the win. The third baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was an important one.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Murcer told the Boston Daily News.
