Don Baylor homered for two of the Orioles' four runs in the first inning and Terry Crowley hit the first grand slam of his major league career in the seventh to decide an 8-4 victory over the Royals. A double by Davey Johnson, walk to Elrod Hendricks and safe bunt by Mike Cuellar set the stage for Crowley's wallop off Roger Nelson.
