The Orioles, who lost to Sonny Siebert four straight times last season and once earlier this year, broke the righthander's mastery and defeated the Red Sox, 8-2. Bobby Grich started the Orioles' comeback against Siebert with a homer in the first inning and two more runs followed in the second on a single by Don Baylor, double by Brooks Robinson and single by Don Buford. After Siebert departed on the short end of a 3-2 score, the Orioles broke the game open with four runs at the expense of Gary Peters in the seventh. [The Sporting News] |
