Orioles Deal Rangers 4-3 Loss
Baltimore picked up a win at Arlington Stadium 1979, bumping off the Texas Rangers, 4-3. Pitcher Roy Sheldon was a major reason the Orioles emerged victorious. George Durham closed the game out for Baltimore, earning his 3rd save. The Rangers fall to 10-15 and continue their lackluster start to the 1981 season.

Matt Rice, the 27-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Rice contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Baltimore up, 4-3.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Texas manager Cliff Bonner. "But we decided not to take it."
