A six-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Orioles to a 10-6 triumph over the Red Sox. A double by Ken Singleton and singles by Eddie Murray and Lee May produced the first run to break a 4-4 tie. Following a hit batsman and a bases-loaded walk, a double by Al Bumbry drove in two runs and a single by Mark Belanger plated two more. [The Sporting News]
