In the second quarter, the Lions got on the board with QB Jon Kitna completing a 22-yard TD pass to WR Roy Williams.

By contrast, pitching was a strength for the Baltimore Orioles as manager Earl Weaver had three, healthy 20-game winners. Mike Cuellar (248, 3.48 ERA), Dave McNally (249, 3.22) and future Hall of Famer Jim Palmer (2010, 2.71) were all well-rested and ready for the Series.
