A grand-slam homer by Paul Blair in the second inning helped carry the Orioles to a 7-1 victory over the Indians. Earl Williams walked, Boog Powell singled, Bobby Grich was hit by a pitch and Brooks Robinson coaxed a pass to force in Williams before Blair whacked his homer off Steve Kline. [The Sporting News]
