Orioles Rally to Nose Past Minnesota
The Baltimore Orioles faced a tough opponent in Minnesota pitcher Rick Rhoden, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Metropolitan Stadium by a final score of 5-4. Rhoden went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. Baltimore pitcher Jonny Venters earned the win, hiking his record to 2-3. Rusty Meacham suffered the loss. With the win over Minnesota, the Orioles improved to 44-63.

Wayne Comer drove in one run for Baltimore. The 26-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Rusty Meacham. It was his 35th RBI of the season.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Comer.
