After failing to travel the route in six straight starts, Jim Palmer turned in a complete game and allowed only two hits while pitching the Orioles to a 6-1 victory over the Athletics. Manny Sanguillen singled in first inning and Sheldon Mallory in the second before the A's picked up their run in the third on a pass to Rodney Scott, a stolen base, an error and infield out by Sanguillen.
