Paul Blair and Brooks Robinson each hit a two-run homer in the first inning to start the Orioles off to a 7-0 victory over the Angels behind the four-hit pitching of Mike Cuellar, who became the Orioles' third pitcher with 16 victories, joining Dave McNally and Jim Palmer. In addition to the brace of homers in the first, Frank Robinson hit for the circuit in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
