Andy Etchebarren drove in six runs with a single, double and homer to pace the Orioles to a 10-2 victory over the Tigers. The first inning saw the Orioles jump off with four runs, Paul Blair batting in two with a homer and Etchebarren two with a double. Etchebarren hit his homer with a man on base in the third and added his other RBIs with a bases-loaded single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
