With Palmer pitching a five-hitter, the Orioles snapped out of a five-game losing streak by defeating the Angels, 5-0. The Orioles loaded the bases against Nolan Ryan on two walks around a single by Bobby Grich in the first inning and scored two runs on a pass to Earl Williams and infield out by Boog Powell. The other tallies followed in the seventh, two crossing the plate on a bases-loaded single by Williams. [The Sporting News]
