Orioles Take Tight Tilt, 4-3
The Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers played an exciting game at Tiger Stadium.

The Detroit Tigers got a superb performance from pitcher Frank Viola, but the Baltimore Orioles still won the game, 4-3. Viola was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 9 innings of 6-hit ball. With the win, Baltimore goes to 28-27, while the Tigers fall to 22-32.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the sixth, with the game tied, Bill Spiers was at the plate when Baltimore scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Orioles to go in front, 4-3.

Spiers attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
