Late Rally by Orioles Secures Win
Baltimore starter Ben McDonald pitched effectively against the Seattle Pilots at Memorial Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 4-3 win. Baltimore reliever Roger McDowell picked up the win, bumping his record to 3-3. Chris Haney was collared with the loss. Baltimore is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Making an impact for the home team was Kelly Gruber. In the bottom of the ninth, the 35-year old third baseman had a solo home run. That made the score 4-3, Orioles.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," McDonald said.
