Allowing only two hits, Mike Cuellar breezed to a 9-1 victory over the Angels as the Orioles backed their lefthander with four homers. Merv Rettenmund started the scoring in the first inning and, after Brooks Robinson was safe on an error, Frank Robinson also hit for the circuit. Boog Powell homered with a man on base in the third and Davey Johnson with two aboard in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
