Andy Etchebarren knocked in two runs with a homer in the second inning and Don Buford added a pair with a double in the seventh to account for the Orioles' scoring in a 4-1 victory over the Twins. Jim Palmer yielded the Twins' run on three singles in the second, but yielded only four other hits in going the route for the 15th time this season.
