Scoring 10 runs in the seventh inning, the Orioles pounded out a 13-1 victory over the A's. Gary Roenicke and Ken Singleton both belted three-run homers in the big frame. Earlier, Kiko Garcia had a two-run round-tripper in the second stanza. Lee May and Rich Dauer clouted solo homers. Oriole starter Jim Palmer was forced to leave game in the first inning with a recurring back injury. [The Sporting News]
