A pair of homers by Ken Singleton and another by Rich Dauer helped the Orioles to a 7-2 conquest of the Angels. Dauer connected in the first inning. A bases-loaded single by Rick Dempsey highlighted a three-run second inning. Singleton led off the third with his first round-tripper and hit his second to lead off the fifth. [The Sporting News]
