Baltimore right-hander Jose DeLeon pitched his team to victory over the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. The final score was 6-1. DeLeon got the win, improving to 8-14. He allowed 5 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. DeLeon allowed 1 earned run. The Orioles saw their win-loss record go to 66-89. At the same time, the Mets fell to 89-67.

It could have been a different outcome for Baltimore, had it not been for Ed Sprague Jr., the 30-year old first baseman . Sprague Jr. contributed a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put Baltimore up, 3-1.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," DeLeon told the Baltimore Chronicle.
