Dominant Performance by Tapani in Baltimore Win
The Baltimore Orioles downed the Texas Rangers, 4-1, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Stellar pitching by Kevin Tapani had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 3rd in the AL in innings pitched with 245.2 in 1996, handcuffed his opponent all game. Shawn Tolleson earned his 2nd save in 5 tries. Baltimore is now 67-95. Texas is 58-104.

Tapani kept the Rangers under his thumb. He scattered 5 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 10. The right-hander upped his season record to 13-16.

Tapani attributed the win to his team's "determination."
