Ken Singleton and Eddie Murray hit back-to-back homers in the ninth inning to power the Orioles to a 4-1 victory over the Indians. Jim Palmer, who won his sixth straight game and 19th of the season, pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, retiring Andre Thornton on a pop-up, striking out Bruce Bochte and getting Rico Carty on a long fly to center.
