The Orioles set a Baltimore club record for most hits in a game with 22, including 5-for-5 by Belanger, and walloped the Indians, 12-1. The former club mark was 20 hits in nine innings and 21 in extra innings. Paul Blair and Don Baylor each had four hits, while Jim Fuller smashed two homers and drove in three runs. Bobby Grich also connected for the circuit. Mike Cuellar, who limited the Indians to five hits, lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by George Hendrick. [The Sporting News]
