The streaking Orioles, getting a six-hit performance from Steve Stone, who pitched his first complete game of the season, defeated the Mariners, 8-3, for their 18th victory in the last 21 games. The Mariners scored all their runs in the first inning, two coming on a homer by Willie Horton. After getting one back on a circuit clout by Al Bumbry in the home half, the Orioles put the game away with a four-run outburst in the third. Bumbry singled and scored on a double by Rich Dauer. After Gary Roenicke was hit by a pitch, John Lowenstein lashed a three-run homer. [The Sporting News] |
