Posting his second shutout of the year, Dennis Martinez hurled the Orioles to a 3-0 decision over the Royals. The Orioles grabbed the lead in the fourth inning on a single by Rich Dauer and a double by Lee May. A double by Kiko Garcia and single by Skaggs added a run in the fifth before Gary Roenicke clouted a homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
