Grich's 12th homer of the
baseball season and ninth at
Memorial Stadium this season
came in the second inning after
Boog Powell opened with a
bloop double to left.
Alexander hurled his first
complete game in five starts
to even his record at 3-3. He
allowed only one Detroit play-
er runner past first base un-
til the seventh when Gates
Brown doubled and scored by
a pinch single by Willie Hor-

three other innings on ground
balls with men on base.
Loser Lerrin LaGrow (5-7)
stranded seven Orioles through
the first six innings and was
lifted in the seventh when Balti-
more scored on a bases loaded
walk to Brooks Robinson.
