Getting three runs in the first inning, the Orioles went on to a 7-4 victory over the Mariners. With one out in the opening frame, Rick Dempsey singled and moved to third on a double by Pat Kelly. A single by Ken Singleton scored both runners after a walk to Eddie Murray and single by Doug DeCinces loaded the bases. Mike Parrott relieved Glenn Abbott on the mound and committed a balk, allowing Singleton to score. A fifth-inning triple by Murray added two runs. [The Sporting News]
