Two acquisitions from the Expos, Mike Torrez and Ken Singleton, joined veteran star Brooks Robinson in the spotlight as the Orioles battered the Red Sox, 11-3. Although tagged for 11 hits, Torrez had more than enough scoring support to last the route in his A. L. debut.

Singleton drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly, double and grounder. Robinson lashed four hits, including a triple that plated two runs in the fifth inning. Robinson also scored four times. Fred Lynn batted in all three of the Red Sox runs with a sacrifice fly and two singles. [The Sporting News]
