With Ken Singleton driving in all the runs and Mike Flanagan scattering seven hits, the Orioles flew to their fifth straight victory, defeating the Mariners, 4-1. Singleton stroked a two-out first-inning single to score Larry Harlow, who had walked and stolen second.

In the third, with Eddie Murray aboard on a single, Singleton blasted his fifth homer of the season. After Murray drew a walk in the fifth, Singleton lashed an RBI double to left-center. [The Sporting News]
