The slugging of Boog Powell, who drove in six runs and took over the league lead in RBIs with 86, paced the Orioles to an 11-1 victory over the Twins. Powell batted in the Orioles' first two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth inning and then smashed a grand-slam homer in the eighth. Dave McNally, gaining his first victory since June 30, gave up only four hits but lost the shutout on a homer by losing pitcher Jim Perry. [The Sporting News]
