Boog Powell, who had three hits in three official trips, batted in two runs and designated hitter Tommy Davis also accounted for two RBIs as the Orioles defeated the Twins, 7-4. Powell had a homer among his hits. Earl Williams also hit a homer, connecting in the second inning. Powell's circuit clout broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth. One out later, Williams tripled and scored the deciding run on a single by Paul Blair. [The Sporting News]
