Posting their 12th victory in their last 13 games, the Orioles topped the Mariners, 3-1. Ken Singleton began the Orioles' attack with a solo homer in the first inning. Two other runs followed in the sixth on a walk to Dave Skaggs, a double by Al Bumbry and singles by Rich Dauer and Eddie Murray. The latter extended his hitting streak to 14 games. The crowd of 4,015 was the smallest ever to attend a Mariner game at the Kingdome. [The Sporting News]
