Ken Singleton drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and homer to enable the Orioles to defeat the Mariners, 4-2. Mike Flanagan, who doled out four hits, gained his fifth straight victory to bring his record to 6-2.

After Singleton's sacrifice fly in the third and matching run for the Mariners in the fifth, the Orioles put the game away in their half when Kiko Garcia singled, Mark Belanger tripled and Singleton smashed his homer. [The Sporting News]
