A homer by Eddie Murray started a barrage of extra-base hits that powered the Orioles to a 6-0 victory over the Yankees behind the pitching of Ross Grimsley. In addition to his homer in the second inning, Murray also batted in another run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Billy Smith hit a two-run triple in the third. Kiko Garcia drove in a run with a double in the fourth. Two-baggers by Ken Singleton and Doug DeCinces produced another tally in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
